Remarks
This class, when placed on a form, provides a standard thermometer class.
To use, drop the class on a project or, from the Component Gallery Item Shortcut menu, select Add to Project. When you drop the class on a project, you can choose between adding the class, creating a subclass, or creating a form. If you choose Create a new form from the selected class, Visual FoxPro displays the Open dialog box so you can specify the name of the form, then creates and opens the form in the Form Designer. You need to specify appropriate property values in the Update method.
