I just started evaluating v9.6 for MFC/C++ and so far I like it very much.  We have been using basic MFC library and SDK for everything and I see a great value in moving to CodeJock. But there are some missing pieces.

Our application needs reporting. Are there any products (mfc/c++ based) for Chart, Reports (sql based), and DataGrid that work well with codejock?

Please comment on your experience with migration to CodeJock releases and issues with frequent updates to CodeJock libraries?

Migration to using the Toolkit

Your best bet for migrating to the toolkit is to find an example, e.g. GUI_OUTLOOK, and add/change/remove code to make it work for you.  There are many things that must be done in the code to get things working, e.g. themes, docking panes, etc.  For instance, do you create the docking panes in OnCreate or OnCreateClient?  How do you initally display content/controls within a docking pane?  Follow by example.

It may be frustrating at first to figure out how it all works, but with some persistence, it is well worth it.

 

Migration of One Toolkit Version to Another
I just migrated from v9.51 to v9.6.

Some of the classes I used have been deprecated, but there was no documentation showing what to use instead.  For instance, I was using CXTMenu for context pop-up menus.  CXTMenu was still available in v9.51 but not in v9.6. 

Overall, the migration from one version to another can be tricky, but only took me an hour or so to get everything compiled in the new version.
