The articles states:
In fact, in VFP9, you cannot right-click the class but there is a "View Code" button on the toolbar.
No, the class is *highlighted* using the usual left-mouse click: a CLASS needs to be highlighted, not just a VCX.
Then, you right-click on the View Code button, on the toolbar.
However this does not display the code in a Web browser but in a modeless window. Clicking on this button whilst another class is highlighted shows the code in the same modeless window rather than in a separate window. <
If you right-click in the modeless window, you will notice the options are not VFP options; they are web browser options.
As far as I can tell, this is simply a parlor trick; I can't really come up with a use for this "feature." I recalled Ken Levy demonstrating it for us years ago. I'm not sure he had a use for it, either, other than "Isn't that cool?"
It's true that the article was written for VFP, and the Class Browser code has been updated since then. If you'd like to see what it is actually doing, check out the XSource.
