Hi,
I'd like some help deciding on the best way to implement extending the functionality of a component. I'm using Sybase's datawindow.net and want to add functionality such as sorting etc. This will entail opening forms to collect input from the user.
I know I can inherit from the datawindow and add the new functionality directly to the new class, but I am confused about whether this is the best approach. Should I simply assume that because I need to open a form to get the input, the new class will have to know all about the form? Or is there a better approach, like some sort of helper class that knows about both the datawindow and the form?
Thank you.
