How Do you Make a Form from an Existing Class

[fmoore0001]

How does one create a form from a class form. I haves several Class forms in a project used to make other forms and I want to use one of them in my own form.

fmoore0001,

from the "view classes" in your toolbar, select add. locate the class you want to use. foxpro will add a button just beside the "view classes" for your class. then drag it in your form.

Try:

SET CLASSLIB TO myClass.vcx ADDITIVE
oForm = createobject("myForm&quot && The form class
oForm.show(1)

Frank,

Do you mean that you want to create a form in the form designer, the form being based on an existing form class? If so, do this in the command window:

CREATE FORM MyNewForm AS MyClass FROM MyClassLibrary

Another option is to go to Tools --> Options and select the Forms tab. In the bottom third of the screen is a checkbox called "Form". When you check that box, VFP brings up a dialog where you can select the form class to use. Any new forms you create during your VFP session will automatically use that class. If you click Set As Default, future VFP sessions will use that class as well.
