Description pcmreddy 2000-11-07 19:56:02 UTC 
I was trying to edit proprties for a class,  The properties like extends,
implements and key should throw exception  as per the
expected behavior for which the edited values are invalid

example :

extends = obj
implements = singlethreadmodel
key = xxx

besides it saves the proprties when I click on save.
Comment 1 Svata Dedic 2000-11-08 07:58:59 UTC 
Checking the syntax and/or semantic constraints in the property text is not
feasible. In fact, if I write code to check those constraints, I would write a
whole incremental compiler (the back-end is quite easy). To give an example
type-like property editor does not accept invalid strings, but does not check
for availability and visibility of the entered reference type. Field's initial
value is a *free text string*.

Now with RC 1152,  I am unable extend a class in any manner, either throw
editing source file or throw property window.
