∟Class, Property, Method and Related Statements
This section describes general rules on creating your own classes in VBScript. A list of class related statements is provided.
Can you create your own class with VBScript? The answer is yes.
VBScript allows you to write a class with the following rules:
- Use "Class class_name" statement to define a class.
- Property members can be defined using class-level variables.
- Property members can also be defined using "Property" procedures
- Method members can be defined using function procedures and subroutine procedures
- Class-level variables can be defined as "Private" for inside-class use only.
- Procedure can be defined as "Private" for inside-class use only.
- Initialization procedure can be defined for a new object.
- Clean up procedure can be defined for a terminating object.
Things that you need to learn for creating your own classes:
- "Class" Statement - Declares the name of a class and defines properties and methods that comprise the class.
- "Property Let" Statement - Defines a property procedure to allow values, not objects, to be assigned to a property.
- "Property Set" Statement - Defines a property procedure to allow objects, not values, to be assigned to a property.
- "Property Get" Statement - Defines a property procedure to return values or objects of a property.
- "Public" Statement - Declares variables to be used as public properties accessible inside and outside this class.
- "Private" Statement - Declares variables to be used as private variables accessible only inside this class.
- "Public" Qualifier - Declares procedures to be used as public methods accessible inside and outside this class.
- "Private" Qualifier - Declares procedures to be used private procedures accessible only inside this class.
- "Public Default" Qualifier - Declares a procedure to be the default public method accessible inside and outside this class.
- "New" Operator - Instantiates an object from the specified class.
- "Set" Statement - Assigns an object to a variable.
- "Class_Initialize" Subroutine Procedure - Initializes a new object.
- "Class_Terminate" Subroutine Procedure - Clears a terminating object.
