SUMMARY

The PROTECTED keyword of the DEFINE CLASS command can be used to protect the Properties, methods, and objects in a class definition. You may want to use the PROTECTED keyword to protect an array.

MORE INFORMATION

To protect an array property, use the keywords PROTECTED and DIMENSION on separate lines. For example, the following code would prevent the array from being changed outside of the CLASS:

   PROTECTED myarray[2]
   DIMENSION myarray[2]

The following code appears to work, but the array isn't protected:

   PROTECTED DIMENSION myarray[2]

REFERENCES

For more information about the PROTECTED clause, search the Visual FoxPro Help menu.
