Or, you could use HackCXPro: http://www.whitelightcomputing.com/prodhackcxpro.htm to address the original question, when we (the old we, Blackstone, '95-2000, RIP) first started working with MaxFrame, we added two layers of abstract classes to the hierarchy: Blackstone-level for our standard means of overriding the framework for customizations we came up with, and client-specific to allow an individual client to have specific customizations like resizers or audit trails. Seemed good in theory :) Was rarely put into practice, and introduced some funny problems, especially when dealing with composite classes: for example, a MaxFrame container that contained MaxFrame images and buttons would be subclasses and become a Blackstone container that still contained Maxframe images and buttons. It got even gnarlier with grids and such. As a general rule, adding empty classes, containers, pages and methods "just in case" you're going to need it in the future is an anti-pattern of premature optimization. When you finally do need it, it inevitably needs to be in a different structure than what you predicted anyway. Better to do a clean refactor when its needed that to add a lot of overhead you may never need. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/cacw6n4vd62wwgj2l1vp+dvcodr7hsjb2rzyxosodutulv78...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
