Hello everybody
I am new to WinDev and I would like to use some third party controls , that have been made for .net , but I dont't have any idea how to place one of these controls in a window.
Is there someone who can give me an example how to do this?
I have already seen the example of PCSoft but I would like an example of a visual control , a grid or a button for example.
Thank you for your time

Yasus Dimi and Welcome
It would help if you let us know what
sort of 3rd party controls you intend to
Use, OCX's ??.
Keep well

Hi Dimitris,
To my humble opinion the only thing you can do from within a Windev application is call a .NET XML web service and talk to it as if it were a remote function. The other way around you can create a .NET compliant web service (using SOAP and WDSL) starting from a Windev application. Incorporate a .NET control however (e.g. datagrid) is not (yet) possible.
Since Windev is actually written in C# .NET it should come as no suprise that a closer integration between the two worlds is yet to come.
Regards.

Are you sure about that?
As far as I know WinDev/WebDev/WinDev PPC is written mostly in C++ and WinDev itself (E.g. all the wizard screens). C# is a very different product and has actually not much to do with C/C++. Also C# is a runtime based language (compiles into .NET intermediate language) while C/C++ are natively compiled into machine language (Correct me if I'm wrong).
Maybe things have changed at PCSoft, but if they are planning to build for different platforms (Linux/Wintel) C# is no option.
So a closer integration with .NET won't have much to do with the use of C# according to me.
Cheers,
P.
