| OOP In Bite Sizes- Pt 3 |
In this video we take a look at inheritance (or subclassing). We also look at redefining the base classes provided by VFP and talk about why you would want to do this. Finally I show you how to have VFP automatically use your classes when you drag and drop fields unto a form. |

| OOP In Bite Sizes- Pt 4 |
In this video we talk a little bit about data hiding (encapsulation) which relates to the visibility of properties and methods in our classes. The highlight of this video shows how to create special event methods to test when a user attempts to access or change a property value. This is accomplished by using the ACCESS and ASSIGN method suffixes. |
