Hi,
In Class1 I have this statement"w=TextWindow"
When I run it I get the error This property does not exist.
I have w=TextWindow set as a property, Global in TextWindow. I
thought that a global property could be accessed from anywhere
without a prefix.
Am I mistaken?
About Global properties; NO.
About your property in TextWindow being Global; YES.
One of the *very bad things* about 2005+ is that the popup menu that
actually told you that it was Public in 5.5 has been replaced with an
icon that is the same as the icon in a Global in a MODULE property
without notifying you of the difference. Very bad karma for new users.
So, although "Public" in a class looks like a Globe in 2005+, it
really isn't global and you must call it by naming the class first.
It also must exist at the time of calling. It might self-instantiate
if it is in a window class through implicit instantiation. This can
also create other problems if you are not certain about what you are
doing.
