  • Article

When you have saved a visual class, you can create an object based on it with the CREATEOBJECT( ) function. The following example demonstrates running a form saved as a class definition in the class library file Forms.vcx:

SET CLASSLIB TO Forms ADDITIVE

Set the class library to the .vcx file that the form definition was saved in. The ADDITIVE keyword prevents this command from closing any other class libraries that happen to be open.

frmTest = CREATEOBJECT("TestForm")

This code assumes that the name of the form class saved in the class library is TestForm.

frmTest.Show

Display the form.
