Re: Object property inheritance - why does this this not work ?

I think you should stop thinking about dot notation as object orientation. Concepts like classes and inheritance aren't supported yet, and saying $animal:=$dog isn't inheritance -- it's just assigning one object's reference to another and kind of backwards at that. Don't try to fit a square

Thanks Narinder. Doesn’t this imply we need to change our entire style and approach to coding ? Language data structures, forms, the lot ? Have you found you needed to do this ? (At least in terms of new code and optimal approaches). Having attended the last couple of summits and various

Re: Object property inheritance - why does this this not work ?

Hi Narinder So it does. I created a brand new structure and it now works. I did that example in a legacy upgraded structure so maybe there’s some compatibility setting that I needed to change to fully support the new object syntax. Many thanks for taking the time to check it and respond !

Object property inheritance - why does this this not work ?

Hi Using the v17 dot notation I was unable to get one object to inherit another’s properties using the assignment operator. Also when I inspect $dog in the debugger after assigning the first property, it appears empty. Code is: C_OBJECT($animal;$dog;$cat) $dog:=New object $cat:=New object
