Par2: ABC: Sequence of events
2002-02-08 -- Dennis Evans
 
There is a learning curve with ABC but it is not really all that bad, no more so than when you started with Clarion. A lot of folks claim the legacy stuff is simpler to understand have probably been using it for some time and many came from the DOS versions, they had a pretty good head start. The main advantage to ABC is once you get done with the 70 percent cookie cutter stuff, ABC is much simpler to alter, with inheritance or deriving objects. Actually one of the two or three real advantages to OOP is up front anyway not in individual methods or procedures. Interfaces are very cool also but take a little practice. . One little note to help with learning ABC memorize this sequence, run ask kill Ask method is accept takeevent end This is the important one, TakeEvent TakeWindowEvent TakeAccepted TakeSelected TakeNewSelection Alert key events TakeFieldEvent Component TakeEvent ! calls browse class file drop takeevent Component ResetRequired ? ! resets window end keep the sequence that events are handled in mind, once you get that sequence in your head life will get real easy.
