XFRX version 11.0

Release date: 2 June 2005

New features

  • This version introduces custom scripts. Custom scripts are methods or code snippets written in Visual FoxPro, which can be linked to objects on the report or triggered during the processing of the report, and can be used to "draw" to the report being processed: to generate pictures, add any custom graphics (graphs, watermarks, etc.), text objects, hyperlinks, bookmarks and many more.
    The new version also allows to bypass the reporting engine altogether and create any of the output formats supported by XFRX from scratch – directly from your Visual FoxPro code.  
    Please see the Developer's guide at https://eqeuscom.atlassian.net/wiki/display/DOC/Developer's+guide for more information.
  • Text message of the error codes returned by SetParam method can now be retrieved with ErrorMessage method.
