Creating a Framework

You can create an Application Framework by using the Application Wizard or by using the New Application item in the Component Gallery. When you use the Component Gallery, a new project folder item is added to your Favorites folder.

Whichever method you use, Visual FoxPro displays an Application Builder so you can add information to be stored in a meta table.

To create an application

1. From the Tools menu, point to Wizards, and then click Application.

   -or-

   In the Catalogs folder of the Component Gallery, double-click the New Application item.

2. In the Application Wizard dialog box:

   • Specify the project name.
   • Accept or locate the project file.
   • Choose your options to Create project directory structure (default) and Add to Favorites catalog (default).

For more information, see Creating Applications with the Application Framework in Help.

You can also use the Component Gallery to add forms, reports, data, and service objects to your new application framework and controls to forms. When you use the Component Gallery to add a form to an application, you can create a new form or subclass from an existing class.
