How to use class

A user will encode new modules on the 'module Editor' window and will make use of Visual Gene Developer's classes. There is a very simple rule to use a class and its modules. First, check grammar!

o Rule

VBScript

Function routine:         Other variable = Class name.function name (parameter1, parameter2, ...)

Sub routine       :         Call Class name.sub name (parameter1, parameter2, ...)

                                  Class name.sub name parameter1, parameter2, ...

Property (reading):      Other variable = Class name.property name (parameter1, parameter2, ...)

Property (writing):      Class name.property name (parameter1, parameter2, ...) = Other variable

JScript

Function routine:         Other variable = Class name.function name (parameter1, parameter2, ...);

Sub routine       :         Call Class name.sub name (parameter1, parameter2, ...);

Property (reading):      Other variable = Class name.property name (parameter1, parameter2, ...);

Property (writing):      Class name.property name (parameter1, parameter2, ...) = Other variable;

Here, parameters can be optional and a user may not distinguish between 'Function routine' and 'Property (reading)'.

o Procedure

Step 1: Open 'Module Editor'

1. Click the 'Module Library' in the 'Tool' menu

2. Click the 'Add new Module' button

3. Or, choose one of the modules

4. And then click the 'Edit Module' button.

Step 2: Develop module

5. Use classes!

'GeneService' is a class name and 'Set_WTableFile' and 'Calculate_CAI' are module names.
