[Otto]

Hello Antonio,

thank you for this new class.
I send you a contribution Ruth made.

Metro-bitmaps:
http://www.atzwanger-software.com/fw/metro.zip

I can’t find out how to implement the action event on the Metrobuttons.

Best regards,
Otto

Hello Antonio,

my father showed me your metro-class. This is great!!! We would be very happy if you could go on with this.
I tried to make some icons that look a bit like the ones we watched on the internet when you were here in Sillian.
We all hope very much that you come back to visit us soon!!!!

A lot of nice greetings an best wishes
Ruth

Otto,

Very nice!!! Congratulations to Ruth and you !!!

Thanks! Yes, thats the way to go

In my previous recently published code the buttons actions are already implemented

Great looking using Ruth's bitmaps !

Congratulations Ruth, you are improving everyday. Hope to see you all the family again very soon !

[James Bott]

Great work Antonio and Ruth!

[Otto]

Hello Antonio,,

it seems that from Metro UI
you should start applications that look like the Control Panel.

Would you be so kind to provide such a class too.




Best regards,
Otto

[Antonio Linares]

Otto,

That could be implemented with two xBrowses and two SAYs, and the style of window that we have used for Class TMetro.

Anyhow, we are not following any Windows 8 rules actually. We are just playing with some ideas and concepts from it

Otto,

We can make ours appl look like metro UI, but to make programs in Native metro UI, only in HTML5+java.
Win32 aplications runs in desktop mode in windows 8.(old start menu).
Appl make to native metro UI, runs in windows 8, tablets with windows 8 and smartphones with windows phone 8,
maybe not in tablets with ARM.

[Antonio Linares]

Norberto,

Yes, right, but Windows 8 will require a long time to replace Windows 7, and in the meantime we can take advantage of its UI model and its advertising
