Hey there--
This is probably the most basic question ever, but I swear to god I
can't get this to work.
Say you create a custom control with the superclass ListBox, call it
dbListBox, and there's an instance of dbListBox in ListWindow. And
you have multiple instances of ListWindow. And ListWindow has a
method called LoadList.
How can I call LoadList from an instance of dbListBox? I had thought
I could say "self.LoadList", but it doesn't autocomplete or compile.
Doesn't "self" refer to the window the control is in?
Anyway. Can somebody please clear up what I assume is... maybe not
the smartest question?
Actually, it's a good question; it's a question of where the LoadList
method should live. One way to determine that is by the location of
the data it needs. If the data is with the window, then probably
LoadList should be a ListWindow method. If so, then you may not need a
dbListBox class; instead, use a Listbox in the ListWindow and pass a
Listbox parameter to LoadList.
