You do mean use the var keyword instead of using the variables scope? The variables scope is, I believe, a class wide scope, and the only way to limit the scope to a single method is to use the var keyword (or arguments scope)
-----Original Message----- From: Chris Stoner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 01, 2005 2:04 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Converting ASP class to CFC There is no reason you cannot do it exactly this way: <cfscript> myTabControl = createObject("component","path.to.TabControl"); myTabControl.TabType = "TabTypeDynamic"; myTabControl.TabSelected = "DefaultTab"; myTabControl.ControlImagePath = "../tabcontrol/"; myTabControl.ControlScriptPath = "../tabcontrol/"; </cfscript> However, two things you might want to do (best practice): 1. Move the set up to an init method like you suggested (make sure you return the this scope in the init) <cfset myTabControl = createObject("component","path.to.TabControl").init("TabTypeDynamic","Defaul tTab","../tabcontrol/","../tabcontrol/") /> 2. Make the data properties private (use variables scope rather then this scope inside cfc) and uses accessor methods to change them. <cfset type = myTabControl.getTabType() /> <cfset myTabControl.getTabType("TabTypeDynamic") /> On 12/1/05, Robert Everland III <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have a couple questions about doing this. > > How would I emulate this behavior? > > Set MyTabControl = New TabControl > MyTabControl.TabType = TabTypeDynamic > MyTabControl.TabSelected = DefaultTab > MyTabControl.ControlImagePath = "../tabcontrol/" > MyTabControl.ControlScriptPath = "../tabcontrol/" > > I am thinking I would need to have an init() function because I don't > think a cfc can be created like that.
