What's new in this version:
This version contains an entire set of functions which allow you to
port your VB projects into REALbasic quicker. The VB compatibility
module includes implementations of many common VB functions such as
SendKeys, SaveSetting, GetSetting, Pmt and many others.
But VisualBasic functionality wasn't the only focus of the release.
Version 2.4 also includes support for capturing WebCam feeds, more
locale information, fonts and much more!
There are some major changes to the Windows Functionality Suite 2.4.
A large effort was made to restructure the project so that the
functionality was in a more sensible and understandable location.
In addition to the internal structure of the code, the external face
of the suite has changed as well. The Windows Functionality Suite is
now meant to be used as a Project Template. If you wish to use some
functionality in an existing project, all of the parts of the WFS are
included as external items, which you can then import into your
project as needed.
See the version history for a complete listing of changes for version
2.4.
