DOCERR: Copying Classes with the Class Browser

• Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 5.0

SUMMARY

In steps 3 and 4 of the instructions on how "To copy a class from one class library to another," the "Managing Classes With The Class Browser" Help topic in the Visual FoxPro 5.0 Help file incorrectly states the following:

   Step 3 "In the source class library, select the class you want to copy,
           and then drag the class icon picture located above the class
           list to the class icon picture in the destination library. The
           cursor appears with a plus sign when you are over the
           destination class icon."

   Step 4 "In the dialog box that opens, choose Yes to move the class, No
           to copy the class, or Cancel to prevent changes to either
           library."

MORE INFORMATION

To copy a class from one class library to another using the Class Browser, hold down the Control key while dragging the class from the source instance of the Class Browser to the other. A dialog box does not appear as indicated in step 4 above. The Status Bar indicates that the class is being copied. If the Control key is not held down, the Status Bar indicates that the class is being moved.

This also applies to the "To copy multiple classes from one class library file to another" Help topic.
