Silvio,

You already have the files opening it a specified path with the subclass we created, so you don't need a function to do it also.

... using statics. And I don't recommend calling functions to manipulate the database. If you want to modify the database's behavior then create a subclass and override a method (like Zap()). Class MyDatabase from TDatabase   Method Zap()EndclassMethod Zap() Class MyDatabase    ...

Uwe, You should be using database objects. Some messaging is already built into TDatabase. If those don't meet your desires then you can subclass and write your own. This much easier than calling a bunch of functions each time you try to lock or save a record. You just do oCustomer:save() ...

Marc, You could also get these numbers with an invoice database class. You just subclass from TDatabase and add a method for TotalSales( cYear ). So you would just do this: oInvoices():= TInvoices():New()oInvoices:TotalSales( year(date()) ...

... programming, especially because all of the coordinates will be in variables... If you want to resize your window or dialog, you may have to use a subclass to control your refresh rate.... To create the dialog that adjust to the device screen resolution, in my case, full screen: DEFINE dialog oDialog ...

... You could make an Override to RibbonBar(rbgroup,rbtn) Class That is a possibility although I was never able to get that working. I usually just subclass, but the ribbonar code uses some code like this: if oWnd:IsKindOf( "TRPANEL" ) .and. oRB != NIL If you subclass you have ...

For rounded corners it seems as we have to subclass from NSBox and override Method drawRect:

... code that DBFs use, but it adds a number of features that standard DBF code does not have. Therefore, for this situation, the best approach is to subclass from TDatabase and make a new class for ADS. In the new TADS class you can add all the functions that are unique to TADS as methods. This way ...

Marc, This is how do it using a class. Ideally, this should be modified to be a subclass of TRecord, then it will read it's own data from the DBF. As you can see from the sample you just do: oPlayer:= TPlayer():new()msgInfo( oPlayer:AgeYMD() ...

... if you are using oKlants it is obvious that it is a DBF (or table). And rather than opening the table using conventional syntax, I would create a subclass and open the database and indexes in that as I have shown before in other messages. Then it takes only one line of code to create the table ...

... running. I ran some class scoping tests and this is what I found. FW/Clipper HIDDEN Only visible within the class in which it is defined and it's subclasses. PROTECTED Visible everywhere. Not assignable outside the class or subclass. READONLY Same as protected. FWH/Harbour All class scope syntax ...

... Since you might want to have a number of reports using the customer table object then it would be better to create a document class and subclass all your documents from that. This way each document object can have it's own Print() method which it might inherit from the parent Document ...

I haven't done this yet, but because this is common code for every table, I should make a subclass of TData and move this code into that class. Code: ::use() ::setOrder(1) If this is what a programmer wants in general, he can also set the global setting SET AUTORDER ...

... mode, so I don't have to open the indexes separately. I haven't done this yet, but because this is common code for every table, I should make a subclass of TData and move this code into that class. ::use()::setOrder(1) Then inheriting from that class, the New Method for a table ...

Antonio, Silvio, and what about the other Ribbon themes? They will not look fine if we force white there Maybe it would be easier to subclass for the new ribbonbar? Hmm, I guess that would be a problem since you are using the preprocessor to call the class. I don't know how you could call ...
