How to: Customize the Class Browser

You can customize the Class Browser by changing the values for its properties and using its methods and events. You can perform additional operations, such as specifying default class libraries to open in the Class Browser, using Class Browser methods. For more information, see Class Browser Properties, Class Browser Methods, and Class Browser Object Members

When you open the Class Browser, the public variable, _oBrowser, is automatically created. You can use this variable to reference or manipulate the Class Browser as you can any form object.

To set properties for the Class Browser

• In the Command window, use the following syntax to set Class Browser properties that you want to change:

  _oBrowser.Property = newValue
  

For example, after opening the Class Browser, you can use the following lines of code to set the Caption property of the Class Browser to "My Class Browser" and the Left property to 10:

_OBROWSER.Caption = "My Class Browser"
_OBROWSER.Left = 10
