I plan on having a lot of combo boxes and other such GUI elements fromthe Toolkit Pro in my configuration dialog boxes. Combo boxes are verycommon I would imagine, and while the Office 2000 style it nice, OfficeXP/2003 would be better.

sometimes it takes a while to get a fix. I'm sure they do read the messages, but as I said, I think it's only a couple of guys working on the code, so they may have to prioritize their time.

don't use the combo box myself, but there is a lot of stuff I do use and it works. I don't know if there are any other new companies working on this type of stuff for MFC. Can you wait? I couldn't.

The toolkit does seem to be the best, and I don't care much about .NETeither, but I have yet to see anybody from Codejock even comment on myproblem with the flat combo box in XP style, so I'm not sure how muchthey pay attention to these forums.  I would hope they prioritizeforums over email since it can help benefit the community and eliminateredundant answers.  I guess I'll have to just wait and see. It sounds like I have to buy the year subscription if I want to keep upto date with the bug fixes though.

my 10 pence worth...

i think codejock is the best MFC based toolkit at the moment. I checked dundas and a couple of others and codejock was ahead. They seem to be fairly prompt with bug fixes. I have been using the toolkit in another product since march. even as it is without any more bugfixes, it is worth the money. anything else that goes in in the 12 month subscription period is a bonus. I do know MFC pretty well and I can say that the code is high quality, although there are some very distinctive coding styles used which make it obvious that one propgrammer is responsible for some parts and another programmer for others. I don't know how many programmers are involved in codejock, 2 for definite, maybe more.

Can't speak for the .NET implementation. Some guy posted a message some months ago saying that the .NET implementation was just a very thin wrapper over the MFC code. don't use .net either so its not an issue.

I only bought the OT pro. i didn't pay for any support over and above that supplied with the toolkit. The core stuff all works, but you really have to use the classes in the way they are designed. Try all the demos and if you like what you see then buy it.

I am a currently disappointed user of Infragistics NetAdvantage Suitefor their COM offerings for VB6. I am seriously considering purchasingthe Xtreme Toolkit Pro and moving to MFC over VB6 even as recommened tome by a post on the Infragistics newsgroups.  They seem to befocusing only on .NET and ASP now and offer almost no new fixes orupdates to the COM tools, and nothing at all for MFC. Since I sellsoftware online and only about 15% of the visitors to my website have.NET installed, requiring that giant 25M+ download for a 3M applicationwould be suicide for my business.
I was wondering how quickly Codejock respondes to bugs, visualglitches, or new feature requets from posts on these forums. Do thetools get updated regularly or are there problems that stay around fora long time?  I saw a visual problem with the FlatComboBox alreadyand couldn't figure out how to make it work, and haven't heard fromthem yet myself.  Are there free hotfixes for bugs/visualproblems, or does Codejock nickle-and-dime with continuous upgradepurchases so as to make people buy the 1-year subscription for supportand upgrades?  I don't mind paying for new features, but bug fixesshould be free of course.  Do most people purchase the yearlysupport contracts from Codejock, and if you do, are you satisfied withthem? Does having the subscription give you a voice that Codejocklistens to first with regard to bug fixes or new features?
Feel free to email me in response if you prefer.
Thanks.
