pcsoft.us.windevCopyright 2026, PC SOFT5 Feb 2016 19:34:00 Z4 Feb 2016 10:44:00 ZIs there anyway to get WinDev to be an Automation server? We are in the early stages of converting a project to WinDev from VFP, we need to add some functionality to the existing application, but I wondered if there was a way to write it in WinDev and automate it from the existing app rather than have to write it twice. In VFP you can declare a class as OLEPUBLIC and it is then accessible from external applications, I can't find anything in the help files, can anything similar be done in WinDev?
