Class Picture

The Class Picture is the image just above the Class List that displays a bitmap (BMP) representing the base class of the selected class in the Class List. A user-defined bitmap can be assigned to a class within the Class Designer by selecting the Class Info... dialog and setting the Container Icon to the desired picture.

The Class Picture can be used to add the selected class in the Class List to any active form open in Form Designer (SCX) or Class Designer (VCX) being edited. Simply drag the Class Picture and drop it on the selected form being edited. An instance of the selected class will be added to the form. Note that the selected class cannot be added to container objects on the form (PageFrames, Grids, etc.). If you want to add the selected class to a container on the form, simply drag-and-drop the Class Picture to an area on the form and then use cut-and-paste to move the object to the desired container.
