Class Builder

[Paul Squires]

I have been playing with a Class Builder prototype that may find its way into FF3.

A Class Builder is essentially a convenient way to create COM classes in PB9. It allows you to easily create classes, instance variables, interfaces, properties and methods, as well as being able to point and click on options for each. You would be able to enter code for each of these elements. When FF3 generates code for the project it simple takes the information as entered in the Class Builder and outputs it to the CODEGEN* file.

I will continue to build this facility (low priority) over the next little while and then report back if it turns out to be actually a good addition (and that it is convenient and saves the programmer time).

That sounds like a really convenient tool!
