dp_class.tpl is a template. Dan Pressnel published this template several years ago. This template is used for writing classes in the application. The template is very simple and convenient. I have added only one additional setting for all the years of usage template. This option generates a string “!ABCIncludeFile” at the beginning of inc-file. I think that I still going to use this template, despite the new C7 IDE. I express my gratitude to Dan Pressnel. Thank you very much!
The CFC Library was written using this template. You can found the dp_class.tpl in the template-folder of library.

One man asked at the sv.clarion.third_party group about Noyantis CommandBar - “What dll or other files do I need to ship to my customer?”.
My customer gets nothing on the ribbon bar.
Can you tell me what additional dll or other files I need to install on a new user’s machine so the Noyantis CommandBar works?
This is fun. The programmer does not know how to set up its program. I mentioned earlier that I like the zip-archives, not the software package. Here the programmer himself does not know about what files have been installed. This is really funny.

CFC Library is free for private use now.
This is done to ensure that any person can decide whether to require this library. You can understand the advantages and disadvantages. You can read the documentation. You can see the source code. Ultimately, you can write a program of purchases to her mom.
The openness of the library can help you decide whether to use it for their commercial development.
I have big plans for the development of library. I plan to regularly release updates. This will be a wrapper for WinAPI functions basically. Therefore, for commercial purposes library issued on an annual subscription. I think that the subscription price sufficiently low.
If you think that the updates is available in the current year are not of interest to you, You can not renew the subscription for this year. You can renew the subscription at any time.
In the future, the distribution terms for the product are subject to change.

My native language is Russian. Usually I use translate.google.com.

Most 3rdParty developers create the installation files in a exe-file. The exe-file moves files into folders. It can change the red-file and register a template. Everything happens automatically. This allows you to save installation time.
I am against this method of installation.
I want to determine what folders will be installed product.
I want to know exactly which files will be installed.
This knowledge provides information that can be used when removing the product.
To register a template is not a lot of work. Thus, losing a bit of time, I get more information about the product. The whole process is under my control.
There is another reason.
3rdParty products manufactured specifically for programmers. There is a difference between programmers and users. From my point of view programmer MUST know how to unpack the archive and how to install 3rdParty product. If the programmer does not know how to do this, I’m having doubts about his competence.

CFC Library is a set of classes and templates.
The library consists of a set of classes and templates for creating tooltips, processing the hot keys and for creating the menus, today.
The library includes source code supplied in the form of app-file.
The source code is a wrapper for Windows API functions. It not contains any black-boxes (DLLs).
The library is a further development of xXPPopup and xXPFrame.
I think that all further development will be included in the library.
I represent the template for creating the popup menu in this version. Other classes are also included, but the documentation for them is now missing.

Today we’ve made our 5th Beta release to third-party developers. This next build introduces a new command line interface to the IDE that is currently used for automating the registering and unregistering Templates from an external program. The build also provides a number of important fixes and more improvements to the UI of the IDE. Over these last months we have had some 50+ external testers who have been hammering on the C7 Application Generator (and the rest of the IDE), and we want to thank them all for their valued input and their bug reports! We have made some really great progress working through the reports they provided, and it has made a big difference in improving the quality and usability of C7. We’ll have to come up with a new t-shirt, or a coffee mug to send them, just to show them how much we appreciate their efforts.
So what’s next?

…We have just a couple of these tricky problems to solve, and our expectations are that we’ll have these resolved and get the Application Generator release into the hands of 3rd party vendors in 7-10 days.

PS
10 days… Do you believe in it?
