I just installed a Visual FoxPro 9.0 and started 'playing' with it. Tried to create a table - it is straightforward and then a form. It seems to be a rich platform. Something puzzles me though.

I do have extensive experience with Visual dBASE PLUS and previous versions in terms of OO language and form/table designer. Thus I am trying to compare. I am attempting to migrate to MS software/platforms wholesale since the dBASE is offering limited options as compared to MS's tools. Didakticheskie igri po umk. I am doing C# and Visual FoxPro at the same time.

Anyway, So far, after about two hours of playing with FoxPro Form designer I encountered some problems. They might be due to my unfamiliarity with the setup. Perhaps there are some keys or designer options I have to switch or whatever to make it work the way I think it should. My major problem now: I cannot seem to find the source code that describes the form. There should be a set of constructors for all controls, the form itself, all the classes, etc. When I add methods there should be some functions in the file.

In the designer there are tabs: CODE but when I click on them empty windows with white fields come up and that's it. Another thing I cannot comprehend is how containers work in here. In dBASE when you dropped a container on a form, the form becomes a parent of this container. You can drop controls (buttons, textboxes (they call them entryfields over there) on the container and the container object becomes a parent for those child control objects, etc. It is very easy to reference the whole hierarchy of objects this way.

I could not accomplish it in FoxPro so far. In dBASE Plus we edit the source code extensively adding new functions after initial work with the designer. Where is the source code in here?

The source code is in the events, or methods you create for the form. Each control, label, line, box or whatever has a complete set of OOP options and events where you can type in any code you wish to work on the object or the other objects. In the old version of foxpro you could edit the screen file, not anymore. 300 primerov po matematike 2 klass.

We have containers with hierarchy of objects also. You refer to them with something similar to this: Thisform.thiscontrol.thiscontrol.attribute For example: Thisform.txtLastName.Value = 'Higgins' will change the value of this textbox to 'Higgins' Another example: A label on the form says 'Name:' thisform.lblLastName.caption = 'Last Name:' will change the LABEL called lblLastName to 'Last Name'. Furthermore, you can write custom methods to make things happen in tables or on the form. We use custom properties and methods to create custom procedures that can do anything you can dream up.
