&#13;
I'd like to move a whole batch of procedures that have into a class without having to manually add each one separately.&#13;
I need to do some code cleanup as well and it would go easily if I could work in TextPad or UltraEdit and then 'import' the text into WD.&#13;
&#13;
I tried to do it quickly in the 'Simple OOP' Example by copying the Elephant Class to textpd, changing it to ElephantSeal and then adding it back as External source - EXTERN "ClassTestElephantSeal.WL"&#13;
Unfortunately, EXTERN is not allowed in the class declarations, and the parent class isn't available in project global section.&#13;
&#13;
I hope I'm just missing something or that someone can definitively say that this is just not possible.&#13;
&#13;
Thanks!&#13;
