This construction was shown at a local user group meeting. I don't work much with VFP 9 so I wasn't aware of it.

LOCAL ox AS excel.application
ox = createobject('excel.application)
ox.   ---> drops down the intellisense list of properties, methods

This can be extended to

abc = thisform.myControl
WITH abc AS myClass of myClassLib
.   --->drops down the intellisense list of properties, methods

What I haven't figured out (and hope that it exists) is how to work with ThisForm. Say I'm working in the form designer and have added some properties and methods. How can I do

tf = thisform
WITH tf AS ??????????
.  ---> and see all the properties, etc including the ones I added in the designer

I hope the question is comprehensible. All responses appreciated.
