Like Interacx. The problem is, if I create a class like
IXFoobaz, it looks like an interface, what with that leading I. And then if the last letter is and X and you abbreviate like I did above, then a class (which I actually have) calledIXXmlContainerjust starts to look gawdawful and confusing. Especially since the class implementsIXmlContainer, which is, you guessed it, an interface. :sigh: Marc -
It looks like an interface because uppercase I is followed by another uppercase letter. Why not spell it out, like
InteracxXmlContainer. Too long?

You dont have a problem Marc, in you new world of Java the convention is not to use an I prefix for interfaces!

Well, as far as my coding standards go, I try to adhere to first letter caps, all other letters lowercase, even for abbreviations and acronyms, even though I realize this goes against the standard. But it does avoid things like:
class XMLIDGUIDMapwhich I would write as:class XmlIdGuidMapMarc -

XMLIDGUIDMapwhich I would write as: classXmlIdGuidMapFunny thing is - I can much easily visually parse the first mostly-caps version than the second more mixed-case one. Must be something (else) strange about me -- at first glance, I read that second one as: "ex" "meld" "GUID" "Map," but I read the first one immediately as: "XML" "ID" "GUID" "Map." Hey, I never said I was normal! :P Peace!

I know what you mean. I agree as well. Used to be, all those X's and I's and L's, if they were black and yellow stripes, would mean we were about to become a tiger's dinner. Now look at us. Marc

To follow up with a good reason why its too long, is that these are subclassed controls and in the form designer's tool box, I really don't want "Interacx" to swallow up the control name, especially for controls like "Date" and "Time", which are half of the word "Interacx". So I opted for "IX" to improve the readability of the form designer's toolbox. Of course, I could have figured out how to strip off the header. Hmmmm.... Marc

I actually don't like the flavor of jalapeno. Jalapeno has a sickening sweet taste with only mild heat. Give me more punch in flavor and heat. How about Kona Habanero blend? or maybe Ares Launch Exaust coffee (with Naga extract)?
