>Barbara, a question if I may:
>I have now created my own toolbar with myclasses established apart from visfoxpro's standard classes. Problem is prior to this milestone I created a nice form and customized it extensively using the standard classes. How can I transfer the work to my own standard form without losing my prior effort?
First, make a backup. Make 2 if you want. Then open the form as a table
USE myform.scx
Go through the form looking at the fields CLASS and CLASSLOC. You can change these to match your own forms with REPL or individually if there aren't too many (LOL). CLASS should contain the correct name of your new class (mytxtbox for textbox, etc.) and CLASSLOC is the location of the class. DON'T hardcode the full path. In my forms, I have code like
..\o3libs\o3fwctrl.vcx
which shows the library is in a subdirectory under the project file.
Probably should try a couple of records and then close the form/table and check it as a form. If it's working, finish the job.
I do this regularly when copying forms from old projects. It will NOT change any changes you made to a control in the properties area. All those changes will remain the same.
