Hi Jet,

I strongly recommend to you to keep away from code generators.
They will not do any good to you. Create set of classes that can handle your way of thinking and doing things.

I am using my class generators just to set properties to next generation of base business and gui objects because I am as lazy as one can be creating subclasses and setting properties manualy.

With good set of base classes you will have to write specific code only for certain type of transactions and nothing else. Your gui should be almost without code, just properties.
All data manipulation, validation and further processing should be in business objects.

Regarding IDE, to be honest I would like to have virtual class libraries (folders/subfolders) and one class shown in multiple places. Yet again, I have many classes that have same name... So it should be a good mix of current PrjMng and class browser... Then multiple subprojects/apps in one project. Maybe I will sit done one day and write one, but this is theme for other topic.

HTH,
T

PS

I see that you have started this thread under vfp6sp5.
I am recommending you to move to vfp9. It is brilliant.
