Where do using clauses get set in the IDE?

One would assume that when you declare a class you can say what it is ‘Using’
You can add using statements in your methods… but this doesn’t help when you are declaring a property of the class, then you have to say the full path of the datatype…

What am I missing?

You shouldn’t need Using statements. That was introduced as part of the Namespaced API 1.5 stuff that Xojo backtracked on and has been replaced by API 2.0.

From other posts, seems like Brian is using/stuck with Xojo 2019r1.1 a pre Api 2.0 version.
