RENAME CLASS Command
Renames a class definition contained in a .VCX visual class library.
RENAME CLASS ClassName1 OF ClassLibraryName TO ClassName2
Parameters
- ClassName1
Specifies the name of the class definition that is renamed. - OF ClassLibraryName
Specifies the name of the .vcx visual class library containing the class definition to rename. If you don't specify a file extension in ClassLibraryName, Visual FoxPro automatically assigns a .vcx extension. - TO ClassName2
Specifies the new name of the class definition.
Remarks
Visual FoxPro does not update other class definitions within the visual class library that reference the renamed class definition — be careful when renaming class definitions.
Example
The following example uses CREATE CLASSLIB to create a visual class library named myclslib
. A class named myform
based on the Visual FoxPro Form base class is created with CREATE CLASS and is stored in the myclslib
visual class library. RENAME CLASS is used to change the class name from myform
to yourform
.
CREATE CLASSLIB myclslib && Creates a new .VCX visual class library
CREATE CLASS myform OF myclslib AS "Form" && Creates new class
RENAME CLASS myform OF myclslib TO yourform && Change class name
