Remarks

This is a simple Web class for handling cookies between Web pages. This class is designed primarily for use with Microsoft Internet Information Servers such as FoxISAPI.

To use, drop the class on a project or form or, from the Component Gallery Item Shortcut Menu, select Add to Project or Add to Form. When you add the class to a form, Visual FoxPro places the class icon on the form where you can specify the appropriate property values and provide any necessary input and output objects. When you drop the class on a project, you can choose between adding the class or creating a subclass.

See Guidelines for Using Visual FoxPro Foundation Classes for more information on using foundation classes.
