Mark, thanks for the feedback. I've looked at your third option, the
propSheet attribute, but I'm not sure I understand how I could use that for
communication between two pages?
Yes, you are quite right, I'm trying to reuse code whenever I can but I
haven't fully got into oo-thinking yet so my success rate is not optimal ;)
Thanks for the hint on using a mixin class instead of a subclass, it hadn't
come into my mind, it makes more sense.
