How to Use Class Browser to Move Objects from Class to Class

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0

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.
