SUMMARY
=======

This article outlines the different ways to associate the default ProjectHook
Class, AppHook, to a project.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Visual FoxPro version 6.0 ships with a default ProjectHook class called AppHook,
which is stored in the AppHook.vcx class library. The class library is saved in
the following directory:

  ..\VFP98\Wizards\

Following are some of the ways you can associate the default ProjectHook class to
a Visual FoxPro project:

Using the Options Dialog
------------------------

1. In Visual FoxPro, from the Tools menu, choose Options.

2. In the Options dialog box, click the Projects tab, and then select the
  Project Class check box to display the Project Reference dialog box.

3. Navigate to the "..\vfp98\Wizards\" directory.

4. Select AppHook.vcx, and then select apphook from the Class Name text box.

5. In the Options dialog box you can select OK to specify the Project Hook Class
  for the current session or "Set As Default" to specify the class as the
  default for all new projects.

Using the Project Builder
-------------------------

1. Without a default ProjectHook class specified in the Projects tab of the
  Options dialog box, create a new project.

2. Right-click the project and select Builder from the shortcut menu.

3. In the Microsoft Visual FoxPro dialog box that appears, select Yes then click
  OK in the second dialog box.

4. When you exit from the Builder, and go back to the Project Designer, the
  default ProjectHook class AppHook is now associated with the project.

Using Program Code
------------------

1. Without a default ProjectHook class specified in the Projects tab of the
  Options dialog box, create a new project.

2. Execute the following code to associate the default ProjectHook class apphook
  to the project:

     _  vfp.activeproject.projecthooklibrary=HOME()+"\wizards\AppHook.VCX"
        && In previous command, make sure to specify the appropriate path
        _vfp.activeproject.projecthookclass ="apphook

Using the Project Information Selection
---------------------------------------

1. Without a default ProjectHook class specified in the Projects tab of the
  Options dialog, create a new project.

2. From the Project menu, choose Project Info.

3. In the Project Information <project name> dialog box, select Project
  Class, and then navigate to the AppHook.vcx file.

  NOTE: Except for the "Using Program Code" method, the project needs to be
  closed and then reopened before the ProjectHook object is instantiated.
