How to Call the Class Code of a Control in a Container

ID: Q138496

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0

SUMMARY

If you override the event code of a control in a container class, you can call the control's events by using the Class property of the container, the scope resolution operator, and the Name property of the contained control:

   ContainerClass::ControlName.EventName()

MORE INFORMATION

For example, if you choose to add text buttons to a form using the Form Wizard, a container class based on Txtbtn in Wizstyle.vcx is added to the form. To add additional code to the Next button while preserving the original functionality of the button, include the following line in the cmdNext Click event code window:

   txtbtn::cmdNext.Click()
