Classes

Creating a class definition

To create a new class definition, do the following:

• Open the folder for the application to which you want to add the class definition.
  This is done from the Repository window.
• Select the "Classes" folder, which is a subfolder of "Types" or one of its underlying subfolders, and insert a new class.
  You can do this by right-clicking the selected (sub)folder and choosing Insert Class from the shortcut menu. A dialog box is displayed.
  
• Specify the parameters for the class definition in the displayed window.
  In the Type panel, define the type of type you want to create. At the moment, only the Class type is available. If you selected the appropriate subfolder before opening the dialog box, the type is selected automatically.
• Click OK to add the class definition and define its settings.
• Select the nodes to set the applicable class definition options and implement the code.
  More details about the screens associated with these nodes are available by clicking the applicable link under "Adjusting a class definition".
• Save the class definition.
  The save buttons are available in the Developer toolbar.
