SUMMARY

You can use the Class Browser to copy objects from one class library to another by using the drag and drop feature.

MORE INFORMATION

A typical drag and drop interface allows you to move or copy an object by dragging it from one editing region to another. However, the Class Browser included with Visual FoxPro requires that you first select the object to be moved or copied, and then drag an icon that appears above the editing region from one instance of the Class Browser to another. The following procedure describes how to move an object from one class to another.

  1. Open or switch to Visual FoxPro, and launch two instances of the Class Browser. The first instance should be looking at the source class (the class containing the object to be copied) and the second should be looking at the destination class (the class into which the object is to be placed).

  2. Select the object in the source class that you want to copy. Note that upon selection, an icon appears above the edit region (or class list) that represents the selected object.

  3. Drag the icon into the region between the toolbar and the edit region (class list) of the instance of the Class Browser containing the target class. This will cause the selected object to be copied.

NOTE: You may also copy entire library files from one project to another using drag and drop functionality between project windows.
