St. Augusta, MN, USA (July 11, 2006) -- The Windows Functionality Suite is a set of REALbasic classes and modules that provide convenient access to things that are not included in the framework already. It is an on-going open source project that includes many different pieces of Windows-specific functionality for your application. It is provided free of charge and includes a rich feature set including:

    * VB Compatible Functions
    * FTP Support
    * Console support
    * System Parameters, Colors and Metrics
    * OS Version and Process Information
    * Service Support
    * System Colors
    * Registry Helpers
    * High Performance Counters
    * Locale Information
    * Cryptography
    * Plug and Play Notifications
    * StatusBar Control
    * TreeView Control
    * Date/Time and Calendar Controls
    * Extended ToolTip Support

    * And Much More!

This project is provided free of charge and is in no way associated with REAL Software. If you run into problems or questions, email aaron at aaronballman dot com dot Users are welcome to incorporate the code in their own projects. The author requests that anything you add to the code base be sent back to the author to be incorporated into the project.

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.
