Alexander
I liked very
But I would be better f_hwgprg.prg to record instead of Editbox for GET,
because for implementatios disponible in GET command, Valid, When, Picture,
etc. not present in edibox
The Rodrigo Moreno created the classrooms for Postgree in xHarbour style
classes for Mysql, would be possible, to associate in the future tables
forms, DBF and/or SQL.
Congratulations for the work, are excellent

>    oForm:Show()
>
>  So, it allows to create really data driven applications.

>  There are two sample forms included - testget1.xml and testget1.xml,
>  which implements the functionality of samples/testget1.prg and
>  samples/testget2.prg.
