Introduction

The Class Browser in Microsoft FoxPro 3.0 is written in FoxPro and is specified by a system variable named _BROWSER which defaults to _BROWSER=SYS(2004)+'BROWSER.APP'. The Class Browser opens single or multiple visual class library (VCX) file(s).

In this release, the Class Browser... menu item option is not available in the FoxPro system menu. When BROWSER.APP is executed, the Class Browser... menu item option will automatically be added in the Tools menu. Until the Class Browser... menu item is added to the system menu, you can use the following program in a startup procedure (refer to use of _STARTUP for CONFIG.FPW) to add the Class Browser... menu item without having to execute BROWSER.APP first.
