I think that I have misunderstood the User's Guide. It says that
after selecting FILE >> New Class that a new class is added to a
project window (so far, so good) and that the properties window
changes to indicate the new class's properties.
But the Properties window does not show any properties (other that
name, interfaces, and superclass). It still shows no properties
after I select a superclass. After I add properties to the class
with EDIT >> New Property, these properties are not shown, either.
Are properties of a New Class not displayed in the properties
window, or is my installation of RB broken?
Your installation isn't broken. First, with no superclass and no
Interfaces, the only properties other than name will be those that
you have added, which is none at this point, so the Properties Window
is reflecting that. When you add some properties, you can view them,
of course, in the Properties list of the CodeEditor of the class. As
for displaying them in the Properties Window, see below.
Another question. After a New Class has been added to the project,
can an instance of the class be added to the project in the IDE? Or
can that only be done in code, with the New operator?
You can create an instance of the Class by adding it to a window. You
can also elect to have properties appear in the Properties Window.
This is implemented by right-clicking the property in the properties
list of the class's CodeEditor and selecting Window Editor
Behavior... in Rb2006. But I see that you are using Rb5.5, so check
Show In Properties Window in the property declaration dialog when you
add the property to the class. After you create the instance, the
properties should appear in the instance's Properties Window.
