Thanks Laurie for the encouragement!
I have wanted to get going with classes for years. Once in the past I
needed a custom class done in code. I had help off list from one of the
members to get that going. This past weekend I finally dived into the
visual class designer and have succeeded in getting the most critical
issues with calendar control fixed and I feel like I am on my way to
finally being able to figure out how to do my own.
Several notes to beginners - (could be me again in another year if I don't
get to spend time before then)
- Open the Project Manager and expand the Class Libraries
- Click on class you want to work with. It will open in the Class
Designer which works very much like the Form Designer except that you need
to close the designer with the X in the upper right corner and then choose
save. In the Form Designer you can simply "control w" to close and save
- Remember that you can View | code to see everything that gets
generated. I found a printed copy of all the code to be very helpful.
- You can select individual visual components of the class by clicking
on them. To get to the top of the hierachy use the tree in the dropdown at
the top of the properties window.
- Don't forget to set the classlib in the code.
- If you add something to a method that contains only a default
parameter line and then take it out again but leave the original parameter
line, the system thinks it is custom code and tries to execute it. I found
that when this happens all one can do is delete everything in that method.
This seems to satisfy the system even though the original information is
no longer there.
Some of my conclusions could be wrong. I would welcome any corrections or
additions.
Thanks, Joe
