Xailer & OZ Software

Hello !!!
Some answers, please
1 - TFormFolder is a class to add a form to a folder, or to have a form as
folderpage. Right ?
2 - Is this class a generic to use with other applications ?
3 - To just add a form to a folder, methods New() and Create() from
TFormFolder are sufficient. Right ?
4 - Are InsertComponent() and RemoveComponent() methods of XFolderPage ?
When are they called ? Is there some documantation about them ?
5 - How did you created those classes that comes from TFormfolder (like
TFrmClientes)? That's a regular form that you changed the "From" part
directly in the code ? Right ?
6 - In method New() from TFormFolder why do you call ::Createform() if it is
Virtual (i thought a virtual method does nothing...what does Virtual means?)
?
Sorry for all these questions, just trying to understand a little bit more
of Xailer and OOP!
TIA.
Aguiar !!!

Aguiar,
That is the project we showed in Xailer free technical journeys and it uses
some complex programming techniques that is difficult to explain on a few
lines. It took more than 8 hours to see the all project. BTW I try to give
you some clues, but you should learn through code I am afraid.

This is part of the new form inheritance. TFormFolder ia a inherited class
from TFolderPage, that's all. When you indicate that your form inherits from
it is just saying that it will be a FolderPage on runtime rather than a
Form.

Yes. Just add the TFormFolder to any of your projects.

Yes. Take a look at the code on Main form:
::oTabFac := TFrmFacturas():New( ::oFolder1 )

No, they are internal and internally called. You should not concern about
them.

Is just a regular form. And yes we just change the "From" part directly in
the code.

Inheritance magic . CreateForm() is defined on lower classes like
TFrmClientes and it is the responsable of controls creation. We prototype as
VIRTUAL just to indicate that this class must be deployed by its child
classes. Is just a good programming practice.

Ignacio,
Your answers were just fine...I will study the sample a little more...
Thanks.
