VFP on Wine - known problems

If did run VFP unde wine last time two months ago.
I got few issues.

  • Problem with splash screen. If you do not bypas the splash screen on startup, then command window does not get focus. You have to start VFP with -t, then no problem.
  • Problem with Wait messages window. (Patch exist)
  • Problems with tooltip window wittch does not show whole text.
  • Font and Color selection dialogs do not work
  • Very slow by printing. Takes quite long to print form in Wine..
  • Installer does not work. You have to copy VFP directly, withou installation.
  • OCX do not work in foxpro. We do not use many, but still it is not nice.
  • Cursor does not change its color when moved on textbox with black background - so you can not see it, which is bad..

Except this, it seems to work quite nicely. Please seek http://www.openfox.org/
