Object Oriented Programming

Object Oriented Programming

UnForm supports programming with objects, which are self-contained programming units (called objects) that have data elements (known as properties) and functions (known as methods).  Object oriented programming (commonly referred to as OOPS) is a modern technique that has become popular with the rise of languages such as Java, C#, C++, and VB.NET.  The definition of an object, that is, its properties and methods, is encapsulated within a program unit called a "class".  The terms "class" and "object" are sometimes used interchangeably, but there is a distinction: a class is a description or definition, and an object is a physical, programmable representation of a class.

There are many built-in objects supplied with UnForm, which can be created (or instantiated) and used within code blocks as needed.  Additional custom objects can be created as a professional service.
