Okay here are four classes for a pocket pc program: Input, fpositional,
ComboBoxArray and TextBoxArray. The "input" class is the form. I use the
fpositional class to handle most of the functions for the objects on the
form, in addition the The objects are created in the fpositional class and
affixed to the Input form through the fpositional constructor which takes the
form as an argument. The ComboBox and TextBox Array classes hold the
respective objects. I want the objects to interact with eachother through
their
event handlers. This example tries to manipulate the Back and Fore color of
the two object types. (Note: if you don't have a PocketPC the PPC Emulator
will not change the color of the ComboBox.) You can add a MessageBox in the
updateObjectsColors() function in fpositional to report other property
settings.
You will get errors with the updateObjectsColors() function in the Array
classes. It asks for an object reference but I can't seem to find the
reference. The program will run if you comment out the updateObjectsColors()
used in the event handlers of the Array Classes. I hope someone can figure
this out.
Here are the 4 classes:
