- --------------------------------------------------------
- 2. Sample Modules
- --------------------------------------------------------
-
- The RAD-Copy buddy has 3 sample templates that you can
- use. Refer to the comments in each sample file for
- specific information on how to incorporate them into
- your applications. The 3 samples included are:
-
- Error Handlers (SAMPERR.CLS): Contains OLE Server and
- client error trapping/handling routines.
-
- Class Collection (SAMPCOL.CLS): Contains procedures to
- encapsulate a collection of a class to enforce type.
- Supports all VB collection methods as well as adding
- a Change Key method.
-
- Dynamic Data Navigators (SAMPDB.FRM): Contains self-
- contained controls to navigate a recordset and display
- fields in TextBox controls requiring only Recordset
- initialization. Optional procedure to dynamically build
- TextBox controls based on supplied recordset.
-
-
- --------------------------------------------------------
- 3. Known Issues and Limitations of the RAD-Copy Buddy
- --------------------------------------------------------
-
- - All OCX controls should copy without problem, but if
- you are copying from a form file in another project,
- you MUST register the OCX control BEFORE you RAD-Copy.
-
- - Some OCX controls can not be automatically added to the
- project by the Buddy, specifically any control whose
- class name is not the same as its programmatic id. You
- will need to add these controls to the target project
- before you RAD-Copy.
-
- - New Form and Class files should be saved BEFORE
- you invoke the RAD-Copy Buddy. The Buddy will
- give you the option to save, but will save to a
- default filename, depending on your system.
-
- - If you do not specify default properties for a
- source control, it will inherit properties of the
- TARGET form. This is normal VB behavior, but can be
- confusing for properties not explicitly set (A control's
- Font, for example, may change when copying to a form
- with a different Font property).
