ClarionMag reader Greg Fasolt recently contacted me with a question about a class I wrote some years ago, and which can be found at http://archive.clarionmag.com/cmag/v4/v4n06checkbox2.html. That class makes it easy (or at least easier) to manage many to many links between two browses by way of checkboxes, like this:
...
The Clarion IDE only scans certain directories for ABC-compatible classes, which is why it couldn't find my class; these settings are under Tools | Options | Clarion | Clarion for Windows | Versions.
I could put my class files in the Accessory\libsrc\win directory, but I think some major changes may be in the offing, and this class may or may not be ABC when I'm done. So I wiped my watery eyes, held my nose and added my current application directory to the list.
...
With that done I tried generating and compiling and got the same errors as before. Why? Because the IDE hadn't refreshed its list of classes. This can be forced from Global Properties | Actions, but from old habit I closed and opened the app and that did the job too.
I ran the app and verified that everything worked.
