A couple of FoxyClasses questions

Hans,
With createobject() it is not important that the VCX containing the class is in path or not. The VCX might be in your current folder, still it would give the same error. VFP doesn't search the vcx'es in search path for definitions, instead it checks the 'open' class libraries (set classlib to ....). While Set ClassLib would open a library and have its classes ready for createobject(), I strongly suggest using NewObject() instead.

With CreateObject("SomeClass") VFP would search the open class libs and create the object if it finds. However, if more than one class library have a definition for 'SomeClass' then there is no way that you can explicitly specify which one you are referring to.

With NewObject() -which is historically newer in the language- you can specify which class library to use (and it doesn't need to be in search path, you could directly write the full path). ie:

oListgrid = NEWOBJECT("locatorgrid", "d:\databases\class libraries\foxyclasses\classes\grids.vcx" )

For setting up cSQL you could do that in code too like this:

with thisform.locatorgrid1

        .cSQL = complsqlcurs.myDefinition

        .init()

endwtih

Calling init() code is important.

Cetin, in implementing this, I realize that I do not know (and cannot figure out) what "myDefinition" stands for. I realize you made up the name, but what kind of animal is it?

Regards,

Hans L

with thisform.locatorgrid1

        .cSQL = "* from complsqlcurs"

        .init()

endwith

Yes, this is most likely what I need. I'm quite sure of it. I will report back.

Thanks,

Hans L

Tip of the day gratefully received, Soykan.    I always mark code with the mouse and then click the icon. Maybe I missed something this time, since there are, as I am sure you are implying, too many empty lines.
Thanks
