New Bitmap Conversion Tool 2.0 Ready
In case you missed it, our new Bitmap Conversion Tool 2.0 has been released and is in the forum for download.  It now uses the .NET framework, converts pictures from color to B&W, has scan line and checkered options to reduce toner use, can read in several other image formats, and generates more efficient code.

New Text Field Control Released
Also new in the bag of tricks that you might have missed is the new text field control.  It can be found in the additional controls section.  Unlike a label, the background can be filled, a border can be specified, and the text can be justified.  Great for making the answers to your fields stand out more on printouts or to align columns dealing with money.

New Excel Control in the Works
We have been hard at work creating a new Excel conversion tool from the ground up.  This tools allows you to print reports to a download file in Excel format.  The new version allows many new customization options to be controlled from within your report and many prior limitations have been removed.

02/09/09 - New Updates

New Controls!
We have added three new controls for you to add into your current RWPGX installation.  One is a control to help you draw circles and ellipses on a page.  This comes in handy if you need to circle answers to items on a page.  Another is a meter/gauge control that is very detailed and the units can have a custom scale to show warning levels.  The third control is a character guide that helps the person filling out a form write neat and fill in columns of numbers.

BMP Conversion Tool Update
A small bug was fixed in our BMP Conversion tool, so you will want to download the new version if you have not already.

New Page Conversion Utility
We have added a new trick to our bag.  Now you can convert pages printed in MS Word and other popular software products into a MT RW macro.  This allows you to print additional documents with your MT reports from one place.  We have even combined this with other elements of RWPGX to allow forms to be filled out using data pulled from MT (ok, we admit, it took a bit of work to pull it off, but it can be done)!

In the works...
We are working on a new version of the BMP conversion tool.  This new tool can convert color images to B&W format for you, has preview modes, and a toner saving option during conversion.  Also, the MT code that is generated has been optimized a bit to reduce space needed within macros.

The long awaited Grid Control is almost ready to be released.  It can print tables, create Excel files (yes, straight from MT and with data conversions that work), create Access files, and also dump data to delimited text files much faster.  This control was planned on being release a while back, but we have been adding so much to it, we think you will agree that it was worth the wait - and plans are already in the works to improve it even more after release the first version!

Thanks...
A big thanks to all of you who have been providing feed back and who have been leaving positive comments on the Meditech-L.  Please feel free to post your suggestions, comments, bug fixes, etc. in our forums as well or e-mail us.  We want to hear from you.

06/01/08 - MUSE International Conference

Our presentation at MUSE International in Texas, was a big success. I'd like to thank those who attended and encourage you to spread the word.

Our first ring for release is now available in the Community Forum. You'll need to register to get access to the download. Keep on the look-out for the next big update to the ring. We've got some great modules that will soon be available once we've completed the documentation.

If you have any questions feel free to post them in the forum or send us an email.

05/01/08 - Polishing the code

With MUSE coming up fast, we've been hard at work trying to clean up and streamline all of our modules. Our first release should be fantastic, but already we're seeing ways to revise many modules to make them more efficient.

Many new options have been added to some of our best modules and we've made several breakthroughs that have revealed many new and exciting things we thought we'd never be able to accomplish.

See you at MUSE!

03/15/08 -RWPGX Online

RWPGX Online community has been brought Live in preparation for the 2008 International Muse Conference. The site includes pages that provide a general overview of RWPGX and a Community Forum for the exchange of information, downloading and development of RWPGX.

01/10/08 - Many Layers

After months of developing individual modules, we pulled them all together in on single report. Though they are bound to a single report, they each still operate independently. all the data was collected and sorted using Report Writers engine and a set of macro. Instead of using the picture to display it, a series of calls were made to each module carrying the data and plotting attributes. The results we better than expected.  As we continue to develop the RWPGX format, we are streamlining the implementation process to make it easy for anyone to use.

10/21/07 - New Horizons

The development of RWPGX has really taken off and moving at a breakneck pace. As we move forward, we are finding ways to easier ways to accomplish our goals. Things that were previously thought to be  impossible, now are done with ease.

Now realizing the full potential of RWPGX, we have begun to set in place an architecture that will help to strengthen the stability, functionality and facileness of development.

09/01/07 RWPGX is Born

Our hospital was in a bind. They needed a way to produce a compensation report, but the only option currently available was an outside vendor. Management was a bit concerned with allowing private employee data to be handles by another company, and asked for other possible solutions. In the process of exploring for a new possibilities, the idea of developing an in-house utility was discussed. After a little research and a little imagination, we broke ground on the first modules for RWPGX.
