but this use of the Scope Resolution operator allowed me to jump 2 levels in the OOP hierarchy, Gene. DODEFAULT(x,y) would have ran the method 1 above, and that's not what I needed. Like I said, at first, it didn't seem very OOP to me, but revisiting it, I suppose it is.It is not very OOP. I do not know enough about your case to judge whether I would do that, too, but I rather doubt it. It has the smell of a kludge, but sometimes, kludges are necessary.
That's EXACTLY what I thought when I saw it over a decade ago. Looks very non-OOP and kludgey. But you're right about sometimes it's necessary, and I can honestly say this implementation I just made saved a lot of coding, and it wasn't too obfuscated.
