class modules

can someone tell me what class mods are used for? is for creating classes (i didn't know that was do-able in vb)? i want to create a data type, but not just the lame old "types", i mean methods and all. i am familiar with building c++ classes, so any help would be appreciated.

Classes allow you to create your own custom user objects.

You can do that in VB.

The only thing you can't have is inheritance. There is a dumbed-down version called interface inheritance (thru the "<font color=blue>Implements</font color=blue>" keyword) but its not terribly useful and I generally steer clear of it. I believe there is a tutorial (http://www.visualbasicforum.com/bbs/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=tu&Number=37198&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=186&part=) on objects/classes in VB somewhere in the Tutor's Corner.

As the hand said you don't have inheritance. What I do is that if I have a class that I want to inhance, I create the new class and declare a private or public intance of the class that I want to inhance, then I use the objects as if the class has been inhanced. I refer them with dots.

Another thing about classes in VB is that you can create properties to get/set values to private variables.

I hope this help.

thank you kindly
