The following example demonstrates how @ ... CLASS can be used with programming techniques used in earlier FoxPro versions (in this example, use of READ to activate controls). @ ... CLASS is used to create a text box whose properties can be changed with the Visual FoxPro object-oriented programming techniques.
ON KEY LABEL is used to display the Windows Color dialog box when you press CTRL+I. The TextBox is placed on the main Visual FoxPro window using @ ... CLASS, and READ activates the text box.
