I guess I was thinking more along the lines of writing code. If I understand a basic idea of OOP it is that each object may have its own code. While that will not necessarily decrease the number of lines of code it makes it easier to manage.

Conversely, decreasing the number of objects may make the coding more complicated to have the application respond in the same way in both cases.

So the question boils down to what works best perhaps but I was hoping that all of you who have far greater experience with OOP and coding could give your thoughts. Assuming my assumption above is correct, which would you choose, simpler code and more objects or less objects and more complex code.

Also, is there a speed issue involved? ie Does an app with more objects load, open and run slower than the same app with less objects but complex code?

I am just curious. Is there a limit on the number of windows and or controls an application may have? If RB has no limit, is there a practical limit that all of you professionals would advise an amateur should not exceed?



There is no limit that I know of, but if you have so many windows and controls on them that you are beginning to worry about limits then you should probably rethink your design.
