If I have ClassA which has a shared property, visible, all instances
of ClassA share this property, right? Well if I subclass ClassA into
ClassB, do all instances of both ClassA and ClassB share this
property since ClassB is a ClassA? Or do all ClassA's share a visible
property and all ClassB's share a different visible property?
I can't seem to figure this out on my own because the debugger keeps
crashing, and I swear there is something odd about shared properties.
In my tests, I created the very scenario described above. I created 3
of each:
dim a,b,c as classa
dim d,e,f as classb
a = new classa
b = new classb
c = new classc
break
a.visible = true
break
d = new classb
e = new classb
f = new classb
break
d.visible = true
break
At the first break, all a,b, and c's visible was already true! This
test proved useless. So I changed a.visible to false. No effect. Not
only did all start out at true, but setting to false did nothing.
Same for classb. So I assumed that maybe visible wasn't a good
property, so I changed it to "Bounces" - same result.
I then changed it to Numbers() As Integer and appended integers
instead of changed values. Could not determine if this worked because
inspecting it in the debugger would crash it.
So my big question is, what's the deal?
