Dear all,
thank your for this discussion - I had been wondering how to get the completion
with my S4 class, but it didn't bother me enough to dig into things.
The workaround/hack that *does* work now, I believe, is to insert a
dummy S3 class into the mix and define the S3 .DollarNames method for it.
Example:
> setOldClass("foo3")
> .DollarNames.foo3 <- function(x, pattern)"bar"
My question here is: what is the dummy class needed for?
I have a few S3 methods for my S4 class (rbind.hyperSpec, cbind.hyperSpec, and
now .DollarNames.hyperSpec). They seem to work just fine without first setting
up a dummy S3 class that is then used in the contains of the S4 definition.
Any pitfalls with that?
Claudia
