I was wanting to create a DE subclass that contains the code I normally use in all form DEs. Then have each form use that DE subclass, but still have the flexibility to add whatever data objects to the DE subclass in the Form Designer. Creating a DE subclass for each different form DE is a pain when you consider I would have to close the form designer, edit the DE subclass in the Class Browser, then go back to the Form Designer.


Mark,

Aren't you failing to create those subclasses? You are trying to modify DE on the form, this means that you are trying to implicitly subclass it. This contradicts with your goal to avoid subclassing DE for each form.

The following approach should work for you:
1) Create UsualDE class with usual DE code.
2) For each form, create subclass of UsualDE and add cursors or CursorAdapters specific to the form.
3) Link each form to its DE subclass.

Thanks,
Aleksey.
