Clarification,
Since there is no need to compile witango files, I just assumed it's not what I class it to as high level prgramming language. I am not sure if .cfm, .asp, .php, or even javascript which you don't compile is a programming language. I know it involves programming so the term is loosely defined. But that's where I am comming from when I said witango is not a programming language. I will investigate your inputs below: > -- Branch Actions > -- Include files > -- Witango Class Files ( *.TCF ) Thanks again Mr.Cadillac, Tabi Run ****************************************************** --- Scott Cadillac <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Tabi, > > Don't be mistaken, Witango is a programming language > - it's just not OOP > compliant. > > For code re-usability, you should investigate: > > -- Branch Actions > -- Include files > -- Witango Class Files ( *.TCF ) > > The Witango Class files are 'Objects' which have > 'Methods' where you can > drag-and-drop other Actions into which can make the > Methods very re-usable. > The TCFs are as close as you'll probably get to OOP > compliance in Witango, > but know that they do not completely conform, 100% > to accepted OOP > conventions. > > Note: You'll need version 4.0 (2000) or higher to > utilize TCFs. > > Also, Note: You can call external *.DLL, JavaBeans > and COM Object with > Witango, if that helps. > > Cheers.... > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "run run" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Multiple recipients of list witango-talk" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Monday, September 23, 2002 6:58 PM > Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: witango programming style > question. > > > > > > Okay, > > > > Here is what iam after, I would consider actions > as > > object in witango application program.
