I have a library which contains classes to analyse horse trial times.
These classes rely on some files which contain some static data about
the various analyses, these files are all called AbcZyx.meta where
AbcXyz is the name of the relevant class (note the mixed case in both).
When the first instance of any of these classes is created, it reads
that associated file and sets up the static data.
Somehow lately a strange thing has happened, one of the classes when it
loads has it's name converted to lower case. All the others preserve
the case of the class name.
I've put the following trace into the early methods for some of the
projects that use this library:
Dim wkclass As Class
For Each wkclass In Classes
If Not IsNull(wkclass.Parent) Then
If wkclass.Parent.Name = "BaseBO" Then Print wkclass.Name
Endif
Next
and generally this is what I get vs the "real" class name:
ClassNameloaded ClassNamereal
--------------- --------------
TrialSpeeds TrialSpeeds
TrialSpeed1 TrialSpeed1
TrialSpeed3 TrialSpeed3
TrialSpeed2 TrialSpeed2
TrackMap TrackMap
TrackAltMap TrackAltMap
Horse Horse
trackname TrackName <------????
Jockey Jockey
Track Track
So all of them, except TrackName have the expected class name.
and when it tries to load the file via
Dim sFilename as String
Dim hMetaFile as File
sFileName=Object.Class(Me).Name&".meta"
Try hMetafile = Open $templatepath &/ sFileName For Input
etc
it fails, because of the case mismatching of the names.
I have searched every file in the library project and all of the client
projects and can not find any instance of the string "trackname". I
have cleaned, recompiled etc etc each of these projects and this fail
still occurs.
Is there something special about a class called "TrackName"? It only
ever happens for that class.
Totally bewildered?
