[AccessD] Classes and Events - Stay with us

Drew slips up!!! Shock!

Of course it's C++ that has inheritance (and C# and ObjectC). The venerable C does not.

Don't ever think that a lecture on Classes and Events (and Collections) is 'yea yea JC's goin on about classes again'!!!

There are code samples all over the net.  Even a little bit of 'tutorial' information on how it works.  But there is a pitiful lack of explaining the actual concepts behind classes.  To C programmers, this is almost intuitive, because one of the true bonuses of C is that it allows inheritance.  And VB.Net is class based.  But VBA is still in the VB 6 subset, which even though it has classes, and can use Implements (a bastardized version of inheritance), it is far too easy to fall into a function dependent mode.

So Go JC Go! ;)
