CGridView:new

The new method creates an instance of the CGridView class. This method returns to the caller a reference to the object it creates. The calling code must assign this reference to a name.

Syntax

V = CGridView:new()

where

V is a new CGridView object. If the object cannot be created, nil is returned.

There are 2 additional ways to create a new CGridView without using this method:

Use the Attach method to create a new CGridView attached to the top-most grid window.

Use the AttachFromList method to create a new CGridView by selecting from a list of all open grid windows.

Note: This method's name uses all lower case to present it as the analog of the C++ new operator. Generally, the names of class methods begin with an uppercase letter but new and delete are different.

Example

V = CGridView:new()	-- create a new instance of V of the CGridView class.
--	-- other uses of the class go here, between new and delete.
V:delete()	-- deletes the object and its associated memory.
