SAS/AF Software: Class Dictionary

Introduction

SAS/AF software provides many predefined classes that enable you to create components for your applications. Classes provided with the Nashville Releases of SAS software utilize the SAS Component Object Model, a flexible application framework that enables rapid component development. Classes supplied with SAS/AF software include a wide selection of visual and nonvisual classes that can be grouped in the following categories:

Base Classes, a set of four basic classes that provide the foundation from which all other SAS/AF classes are built
Visual Controls, a set of host-based, graphical user interface components that provide native platform look-and-feel
Models, a set of nonvisual components that provide access to SAS libraries, tables, catalogs, external files, and system colors
Nonvisual components that provide other functionality for SAS/AF components
Utility classes that provide access to SAS software features such as the SAS Registry
Legacy classes, which include the complete set of classes that were supplied with Version 6 of SAS/AF software.

This reference provides complete information on the SAS/AF classes. You can locate a class by searching through the categories of classes listed above. Each class is fully documented in a separate topic that provides complete property information such as attribute metadata and method syntax.
