In order to use dot notation a c_object must have been initialized. So when
passing a c_object as a parameter to a method you cannot use dot notation on
the object as you might normally do with any other kind of parameter. This will
not work...
C_Object($myCoolObject;$1)
$myCoolObject:=$1
If($myCoolObject.action=“Startup”) // this will generate a syntax
error.
End If
So we have several options…
C_Object($1)
If($1=“Startup”)
End If
Or
c_Object($myCoolObject;$1)
New object(myCoolObject)
$myCoolObject:=$1
If($myCoolObject.action=“Startup”)
End If
Or
C_Object($myCoolObject;$1)
$myCoolObject:=OB Copy($1)
If($myCoolObject.action=“Startup”)
End If
Is any one of these options better than the other? I am guessing not. Since I
like to always have readable vars, $1 means nothing, I have opted to use OB
Copy as it is the simplest form and closest to myCoolObject:=$1.
Any other way to do this?
