Handy
Tools |
Mainly
used for browse extensions and email and a few API
functions. NetTalk could be used for email and View
Wizard and/or C6 for column sorting and another tagging
product could be used such as super tag. |
|
Medium/High |
Query
Wizard |
The
latest version is excellent! Indespensible! |
|
High
(or use CW's built in query - yuck!) |
Report
Wizard |
The
latest version is excellent! Multi-line printing now
and modification of column headers, field/column attributes,
etc. |
|
Medium/High |
File
Manager 3 |
Necessary
for easy and automatic file conversions. |
|
High |
Spreadsheet
Wizard |
The
latest version is excellent! Most users love to dump
data to Excel. |
|
Medium/High |
IceTips
Report Preview |
Easily
removed but why would you want to? It's the best previewer
and highly customizable as it installs as a source procedure
for complete control. No nasty DLLs to deal with. |
|
Medium
(High if reselling where sex appeal counts)) |
PDF
Tools |
Only
current function used is to supply the Save As (PDF)
option in the IceTips report preview. Could be used
for more functionality but if you convert to C6, you
can us it's PDF capability. If you can afford this addon
and need fighter jet functionality, GET IT! Email support
build in! |
|
Med
(only because C6 has PDF but if you want more - this
is the best game in town!)
|
gReg |
Used
for the product registration but can be easily replaced
with SecWin, Bo's, Armadillo or your own. cpTracker
also interfaces to gReg, import customers/registrations,
powerful browses, report wiz, spread wiz, etc. |
|
Depends |
gCal |
Popup
calendar, monthly and yearly calendars. Replace with
yours or C6's |
|
Low |
gSec |
User
security. Not fully implemented and easily removed.
I plan on switching to SecWin primarily because I feel
more comfortable using CapeSoft's products, them being
the biggest vendor, not charging for upgrades and superior
docs and support. |
|
Depends |
Gitano's
XP Icons |
You'll
want to get these unless you want to change every icon.
I like them - some people don't. A matter of taste.
Also, consider using Jesus Moreno for your custom graphic
needs. He's very talented and created the cpTracker
icon, logo, splash and Berthume Enterprises LLC logo. |

MessageBox |
I
added for stability in C55. I don't think it's needed
in C6. I don't want my users to experience a single
GPF so added it after hearing all the horror stories
about pre C6 message() problems. |

EasyResizeSplit |
Most
windows have resizing and many have horizontal and vertical
split bars. Very easy to use and implement! You can
use Boxsoft's but would be very tedious to go through
all the windows and controls and make the switch and
who the heck has time for that? Come on, time IS money
after all. |

Fomin
Report Builder |
This
is a very powerful option for users to build their own
sophisticated reports. |
|
Depends
(on users really) |
CopyFlash |
Used
for copying projects and tasks. Especially valuable
for copy projects and related tasks (repetitive projects/tasks).
If you don't need, fine but if you do need, don't waste
time handcoding this! |
|
Medium |
Impex |
Currently
have Contact and Task import EXEs. At the very least
you should have contact import if you are reselling.
They WILL ask for it believe you me! |
|
Depends
(if you are reselling or not) |
Solace
HTML Tpl |
Free
and utilized for the HTML help. Not needed
in C6 I really appreciate vendors that provide free
solutions instead of us having to wait for SV to add. |
|
High
(if you want html help) |
SoftMasters
Office |
Free
and used for Outlook Email import and launching Word.
A ton of other functionality can be gained from these
classes as well. I've just hit the tip of the iceberg.
I'm looking forward to the PDA/cell phone interface
to cpTracker that SoftMasters is creating via Jaguar! |
|
Medium |
BST |
Used
for scheduling, calendars, weekly/daily planners, resource
graphs, etc. |
|
High
(but easily removed) |
LSZIP |
Used
for backup/restore facility. Need I say more? I also
have plans to provide an email option for attachments
to automatically zip multi-selected attachment files
and attach to the email... |
|
Medium |
Bo's
Free Tpls |
Free:
Label printing, resource extension. |
|
High
(great label printing and hey, it's FREE!) |
PowerRUN |
Free:
used primarily for ShellExecute() code TPL. Classic
addon that's been around for years and used by 1000's
of Clarionites. Created by yours truly. Remember the
T-Rex on the old webpage? |
|
High |
SetupBuilder |
I
will provide install file to get you going. |

Medium
(you may use another) |
