Program:  SCXVIEW.EXE

Description:
------------
SCXVIEW.EXE is a simple .SCX/.VCX viewer that allows you to quickly
browse records in any form or visual class library. The fields shown 
are: Record, Number, ObjectName, Parent, Class, and Class Library. 

If you double-click or press Enter on a particular row, you are able
to edit the values of the fields shown, along with the PROPERTIES field.

Note that SCXVIEW is not a READ EVENTS-style application. It is a "desk-
accessory" modeless tool that lives in the Visual FoxPro developement 
environment. I compiled it to an EXE only to give it its own icon <s>.

Features:
---------
- Faster than Class Browser for simple 
  investigative purposes
- Modeless window
- multi-instancing
- Resizeable form
- columns autosize to optimally display field contents

Suggested Installation:
-----------------------
Copy the files into a subdirectory of the VFP tools directory - for
example, VFP5\TOOLS\SCXVIEW.

Add SCXView to the VFP Tools menu with the following code
in your STARTUP.PRG program:

    define bar 1001 ;
        of _mtools ;
        prompt "\<SCX/VCX Viewer" ;
        after _MTL_BROWSER

    on selection bar 1001 ;
        of _mtools ;
        do home() + "tools\scxview\scxview.exe"

(If bar 1001 is already defined, you can choose any free bar number
you wish.) 

Disclaimer:
-----------
It is quite possible to use SCXView to fix reference problems in your
classes and forms. It is also possible to change references in the
classes and forms so that they no longer run correctly. Use SCXVIEW.EXE 
with caution, particularly when editing the PROPERTIES field. It is a 
good idea to make a backup of the file before editing it with SCXVIEW.
