Thanks Guyren --
I'm more or less aware of this, but I'm just not there yet with RB.
I'll definitely try implementing the class interface in the near
future, but right now I'm struggling with even more basic
things...unless you think it'll solve my current problem.
When I had the same code in many windows, I could loop through all
the controls in the window (i as integer) and do this:
if control(i) isA EditField then EditField1(control(i).Index).Load
if control(i) isA ListBox then ListBox1(control(i).Index).Load
if control(i) isA MoviePlayer then MoviePlayer1(control
(i).Index).Load
but now that I've moved that shared code into a superclass of
those Windows, I'm having a hard time communicating with the
controls in the subclasses.
The rest of your question, I don't follow. You can certainly do the
above in the superclass.
Hmm. I don't see why I wouldn't be able to...I can't though.
The code above is a in a method in my EditWindow class (superclass:
Window). It's trying to access methods and properties of custom
controls which are in subclasses of EditWindow. In the code, for
simplicity's sake, I just pretended they were built-in classes. They
are actually dbEditField, dbHashListBox and dbMoviePlayer. Does that
make a difference?
Can you (or anyone) think of any reason why this _wouldn't_ be
working? Keep in mind that if I put the code into the subclasses of
EditWindow (which are the windows the controls are actually in), it
works fine.
I'll provide any other info that might be relevant.
