ObjectMaster is an ActiveX control
which makes it possible to easily create copies of an object in
Visual Basic 6, or to save object's properties to a file and
later to reconstruct the object from the file, even if the
object has other subobjects. And all that with a single line of
code. |

You have probably had the need to create a
copy of an existing instance of some object, i.e. with
the values of the properties which that specific instance possesses
in that moment.
As you know, an approach such as
Dim
DestinationObject As New MyObject
Set
DestinationObject=SourceObject
will not give the wanted results because both DestinationObject and
SourceObject variables reference to the same object and therefore
they are not independent, which means that if you change a property
of SourceObject, this change will affect DestinationObject, and most
often this is not what is wanted when one needs an object copy.
Creating an object copy with
ObjectMaster is as simple as
Dim
DestinationObject As MyObject
Set
DestinationObject=ObjectMaster1.Copy(SourceObject)
The created copy is identical to the
original object and is absolutely independent of it. You can change
or destroy the original object and this will not affect the created
copy. You can make as many copies as you want.
The second important purpose of
ObjectMaster is so called "Object
Persisting", which means putting the values of the object properties
into some sort of a data stream which can be saved into a file or
sent to the clipboard, from which the original object can be
reconstructed later. With ObjectMaster this is as simple as |
