General Class Information (Class Wizard)

Allows you to specify general class attributes for the class you are creating in the Class Wizard.

With the General Class Information step of the Class Wizard you can:

• Add a new class to your project.
  
  
• Specify the modifiers of the class.

Options

Class Name

A read-only text box that displays the name of the class that is being created in the Class Wizard.

Access

A list that defines the access modifier for the class you are creating. Classes can be declared as either public or default (package).

Abstract

When selected, applies the abstract modifier to the class you are creating. This option is disabled if the final modifier is already applied to the class. A class that is declared as abstract cannot be instantiated and is used as a superclass for another class.

Final

When selected, applies the final modifier to the class you are creating. This option is disabled if the abstract modifier is already applied to the class. When a class is defined as final the class cannot be a superclass for another class.
