Adding Class Parameters to a Class

A class parameter defines a constant value for all objects of a given class. When you create a class definition (or at any point before compilation), you can set the values for its class parameters. By default, the value of each parameter is the null string; to set a parameter's value, you must explicitly provide a value for it. At compile-time, the value of the parameter is established for all instances of a class. This value cannot be altered at runtime.

You can add a class parameter to a class definition in two ways:

• Adding a class parameter to the class definition using the Class Editor.

• Using the New Class Parameter wizard.

To add a method using the Class Editor, position the cursor on a blank line in the Class Editor and enter a class parameter:

Parameter P1 = "x";
