You might also want to test successful instanciation prior to calling any object methods.


ThisForm.MyObject = CreateObkect('MyClass')
if vartype(ThisForm.MyObject) = 'O'
  ThisForm.MyObject.visible = .t.
else
  Error(xxx)
endif


>>Erik, thanks for your reply MyClass is definately a class. A container class to be exact.

>but it will do you noo good, because MyObject as a variable (reference to your object) is a private or local to the method where you run htis code, so it will go out of scope and get destroyed. You should rather do ThisForm.AddObject({name_here}, {class_here}) to make it addressable as ThisForm.MyObject - it will be there until the form is there, or until you ThisForm.RemoveObject({same_name_here}).
