Remarks

To use, drop the class on a project or, from the Component Gallery Item shortcut menu, select Create Form or Create Form. When you drop the class on a project, you can choose between adding the class, creating a subclass, or creating a form. When you add the class to a form, Visual FoxPro displays an Open dialog box so you can specify the name of the form, then creates and opens the form in the Form Designer.

In the cDefaultFileName property, specify the file you want to retrieve. If the file is not located, the oLocateItem object opens a GetFile dialog box so you can locate the file.
