I am trying to find out how to do something in VFP that I can easily do in PowerBuilder. In pb I can setup "edit sytles". In VFP this should probably be done via classes; however, I can not find any examples in VFP5.0 of this.

Have I overlooked something?

Has someone else created some classes similar?

example: I want to create an edit for phone numbers; however, I do not want to store it on the area on the database setup. I want to store it in a class library so that I can change the class in the future and all the references to it in all database will immediately reflect this. On the database setup screen I will reference the class instead
of hardcoding the (999)-999-9999 for example.

Hope this is clear.
