Simple invoicing application
Posted: Wed May 07, 2008 09:22 AM

We provide many examples with FiveWin, that are very helpfull.

But in some cases, new FiveWin users require a simple invoicing application to use it as a starting model, so they can start modifying it.

We know that it is difficult to find a model that may be valid for everybody, thats why we request your cooperation to provide a simple application, providing also its source code.

As a compensation, those that provide those simple applications and get selected as valid ones, will get a free upgrade to current FWH version. Thanks! :-)

regards, saludos

For those that are interested to participate:

Please email me the EXE and DBFs, indexes, etc, WITHOUT the source code, as a ZIP file.

We will test the application here, and if we see it as a good model, then we will require you its source code and we will provide you the free FWH upgrade.

The application will be freely available to all FiveWin users, including its source code, and keeping its author name. Thanks!

regards, saludos

Silvio,

We will wait several days and also we need to be able to build the application ourselves, once we choose it, so we should have all the required source code

Invoice of software-distrubution
Posted: Wed May 07, 2008 09:05 PM
Hello Antonio,

A customer of mine, is a distributor of different software
products.
The prog. i wrote for the company includes statistic as well.
Maybe it could be used as a basic sample for your imagination.

The prog. works basicly with 3 main-screens

Customer, Software of the customer and the person who belongs
to the product.



The calculation outgoing / incomming / statistic
selling, offering and quartal-payment



Calculation of products




Best Regards

Invoicing

Hi Antonio,

Having worked with invoicing programs for the past 26 years, I don't think you can create a "simple" example.

There is a lot to consider. An invoice must relate to a client, and the entries. There would be choices ... parts, labor, etc. Then you have to print it out.

My invoices take thousands of lines of code but they do a lot, and are smart.

I'd like to help out with a sample, but I'd have to write it from the beginning, and that would take a lot more then a couple of days. Also, I think it might be best to wait a little while until you finish the improvements on the browse controls because that can make a big difference.

Mr. Antonio !

Can I post my application created by FiveWin Vampire Version ?

I bought from selective-software ( Mr Jhon. ST ) but the link was died.

I have the source code of FW-1.95, then compiled with xHarbour become 32bits.

Fafi,

Yes, it is fine, as long as we can rebuild it with FWH 32 bits :-)

Thanks!

Tim,

Yes, I know exactly what you mean.

Thats why we ask for simple and quite basic invoicing application that will help other new developers to start their developments.

Antonio,
If you see the old sample of Wbrowse of Hernan there is a sample good invoice.

A base invoice is not easy because there are :

Customers and Products administration
then we need create a invoice administration with lookup window of customer and product, then we must create the invoice preview.

it is a big application not a small application !!!

I have all these but there are many applications into
I try to erase the functions not base but it is too difficult.

Best Regards, Saludos

Silvio,

We have already received several applications very interesting :-)

As soon as we decide the best ones (in our opinion) we will announce them and make their source code available, so everybody will be able to test them and use them if needed.

Atas = Top
Bawah = Bottom
Hapus = Delete
Tambah = Add

Fafi,

Many thanks for your demo.

It looks really nice and professional, though it may be too complex for a beginner (?)

This is really a good idea and it is exactly the way I started with clipper.
I bought an invoicing program with source code included. This was more than 20 years ago.
