Michael, One immediate reason is to make the use of the Drag/Drop class I posted this morning easier. You can't really get any easier than dragging a component over the grid however neat the inline code is.
Programming entirely in .prg format is certainly more efficient and you have much more control but sometimes there is just no substitute for wrapping up in a visual class of some format. Other than that I guess it is personal preference I suppose. I must admit I flick the other way myself, starting with .prg classes and then migrating to .vcx's when I have them debugged and finished. It just seems neater that way. Of course printing out (does anyone still do that??) is easier with .prg classes and you do get to see the Whole of the code at once, but you can do this using the document view for both vcx and prg glasses by using #defines in the .prg classes to act as placeholders. Guess it's going to be one of those top/bottom post, spaces/tabs arguments that is never fully resolved! You may have opened a complete bag of worms here Mike.

Babcock, MCP Sent: 01 October 2007 15:29 To: [email protected] Subject: PRG vs VCX based classes for non-visual objects (I asked this recently but didn't get a response....vfp9) I thought Bo Durban had changed his GDI+ classes from VCX-based to PRG-based but I couldn't learn the reason why he did so...I thought it had something to do with performance but that didn't seem to make sense since once it's loaded in memory, it should be the same imo. Can someone comment as to why you would want to design a NON-VISUAL class in a VCX (other than preferring the GUI look for seeing the methods/events in dropdowns)? tia, --Michael [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
