Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

 Using Example Code from Help
 
 ■ You can copy example code from online Help, paste it into a code window,
   and then edit the code to fit your needs. Code examples are provided in
   the programming language, properties, events, and methods topics.
 
 ■ To copy and paste example code from Help into your code:
 
   1. Select the Help topic you want from the Index or Contents
 
   2. Select the Example button at the top of the screen to jump to the
      code sample
 
   3. Highlight the example code
 
   4. From the Edit menu, choose Copy, or press Ctrl+Ins
 
   5. Press Esc to close the Help window
 
   6. In the programming environment, position the cursor where you want
      to insert the code
 
   7. From the Edit menu, choose Paste, or press Shift+Ins
 
 ■ After copying example code from Help, you need to modify the variables,
   constants, and references to form and control names to fit your
   application. Be sure that you add an apostrophe (') at the beginning of
   each comment, especially if it wraps to a second line. Failure to do so
   may prevent the code from executing.
