Visual FoxPro 9.0 includes several major improvements to the crusty old Report Writer, making it a powerful, dynamic tool. One the primary ways to extend the capabilities of the Report Writer is through custom Report Listener classes. These classes allow you to hook into the report generation process to customize the appearance of your report. This site is dedicated to the sharing of custom Report Listener classes among the members of the Visual FoxPro community.

Converting General fields to Blob fields

 - The new Blob data type in VFP 9 is a General killer--they're much easier to work with than General. Unfortunately, there isn't an easy way to convert the contents of existing General fields into Blob fields; once you've put an image into a General field, it's all but impossible to get it back out. GeneralToBlobListener is a ReportListener subclass that handles this task painlessly.

HTML Preview with a Navigation Pane

 - Uses a custom ReportListener class and a helper class that work together to generate the output in HTML and GIF files. This HTML file is gererated through an XSL Transformation over a XML document that keeps some metadata of the preview output.

 - Taking advantage of GDI+ usage in Visual FoxPro 9 this class generates a PDF Document that will look exactly as your original report.
