Well, I tried to implement the plan A. I get the latest version from VSS, but now I'm having the same problem as I had before. I had to try another plan.

>>>How about using the class browser and opening the class. Select the view class code and select the code for a copy paste.
>>
>>But I need to re-create the properties (with their comments) and methods (with their comments) I added to the class. I don't see how Class Browser is going to help me. I would see all methods and properties, but I still have to add them somehow.

>copyproperty(oOld, oNew, "disabledbackcolor")

>copymethod(oOld, oNew, "YourCustomMethod")
>copymethod(oOld, oNew, "click")

>You may also want a copy member method - if you have December FoxTalk2.0, you can take it from my article there, it's part of the sample code - you only need to write about four lines of code, to extract classlib and class from the member to copy, and then oNew.newobject() it.
