Creating a Class

[sagn]

Hi

I have, or at least have tried to, create a class.
Using the CompaqVisualBasic 6 interface I
opened a new class module. (I did not use the builder)

I saved the class.

In my project window it appears as

Class1(IO.cls) (why does the 'class1' still appear?

And when I try and use the class by creating an instance
via

Set NEWIO = IO

I get an error saying the user defined type in undefined.

What am I doing wrong?

(The class I built is an addition to previously existing code)

thanks

diane

Hi Diane -

I think you have a couple of problems. Not knowing exactly how your project is put together, I'll take a couple of guesses:

First, the "Class1" text is the class name as defined in the IDE; IO.CLS is the file name. You'll want to assign the value "IO" to the Name property of the the class.

Secondly, you can define and instantiate an class variable in different ways. You may want to try the following:

'Declarations section
[Public/Private] NEWIO as IO
'In a Sub/Function
Set NEWIO = New IO

Hope this is helpful,

Thank You Very much

I changed the Name property, something I did not even think of.
and then I added the statement

Dim NEWIO As IO

then later

Set NEWIO as NEW IO

That seemed to get over my compilation problem!

Thanks again
