Want sub-classes to see a note on a method?

[wgcs]

Ever want a note to show to someone who subclasses your class when they start to override a method?

Sure, you can put a note that shows in the properties window description box, but here's another way:

Just define the parameters to the method like this:

LPARAMETERS tvParam1, tvParam1 ;
&& Use tvParam1 for something ;
&& but use tvParam2 for something else

It seems that some versions of VFP remove the semicolon and combine it all onto one line, but otherwise, it works great!

( just beware of (don't do) this:

LPARAMETERS plVerifyAgain, ; && param 1
            pvParm2 && Param 2

because the first line doesn't end with ";" (even though it contains it) VFP doesn't properly continue to import the next line for the subclass, and you only see the first line)

Interesting idea. I'll have to give it a try.
