Class Browser Buttons

The following buttons are available in the Class Browser. For more information, see Class Browser Window and Operating the Class Browser.

  • Component Gallery
    Switches between the Class Browser and the Component Gallery for managing foundation class items.

  • Open
    Opens an existing class library (.vcx) file, creates new class library and type library files, or opens an existing form/form set (.scx) file.

  • View Additional File
    Adds an existing class library (.vcx) file or a form or form set (.scx) file to the class list, or creates a new class library file. To list the most recently opened files in the Class Browser, right-click the View Additional File button.

  • View Class Code
    Displays the class definition code in a program (.prg) file for the selected class. The class opens as read-only, and you cannot save any changes you make to the class. However, you can save the code to another file.

  • Find
    Searches for specified text in class names, class descriptions, member names, and member descriptions.

  • New Class
    Creates a subclass of the selected class or any existing class.

  • Rename
    Changes the name of the selected class, property, or method.

    Warning

    Renaming a class might invalidate forms or classes that are not currently displayed in Class Browser windows and that rely on the class. Changing the name of a property or method can cause code that references the property or method to fail.

  • Redefine
    Changes the parent class of the selected class.

  • Clean Up Class Library
    Runs the PACK command to remove records in the .vcx file marked for deletion. For more information, see PACK Command.
