The Mere Mortals Framework
Hi Gil,
I just noticed that the a stuff (in addition to the c and k stuff) is pointed back to the MM directory also. I just assumed (shame on me) that Quick Start only copied the class libraries for the generic (a-classes) into the new project. I have much more digging to do in the framework!
I guess that makes sense since I will eventually be putting the classes, class libraries, tables, views, dbcs, etc.... back into the generic project.
I finally had a good day today) with the framework. I got my first MM form/class working. I am on a roll. Things are finally starting to click a bit! This is exciting (Monster!)!
Thanks,
-pw

>If the MM framework class already exists, it should show up in you Project under the Classes tab. If it's a form class, you'll subclass that, as described in the Guide, andd save it to your aforms library. If it's a control you can drag and drop it onto a form.
>The guide gives a good talk on subclassing framework classes, with advantages and disadvantages on where you decide to subclass (where inheritence is broken) so read that and go from there.
>Your first application created using the framework should be thought of as a learning ground (you'll get better as you go) but with keeping the guide by your side and reading reading reading it and reading the comments in the parent class's methods you'll do just fine.
