The . is valid but a trick within wxlua. Get..., Set... are supported. Set/GetValue become var.Value = or Foo = var.value als note that Is is magic so ww = wx.wxTopLevelWindow ... then ww.IsActive works Ok and Eof are also magic, sor var.Ok is useful Now var.Value is resolved in 2 steps (only the first time). resolution... The index fail within the meta (either index/newindex) Now the argument must be single for the following to happen. The index is added to the object, the code is rerun and now works. In all subsequent call the index allready exist and this all works. There is a small cost time and space. This is syntactic sugar like function Foo(arg) etc in lua is Foo = Function(arg) etc Most language and system supports these type of things. I find it more readable and I like it, other may not. Its a free world (sometime). Andre PS: I have rewritten the Lua editor to suggest all these variances by using the dynamic binding support. So to me it is easy to use otherwise you have to remember all the rules. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl _______________________________________________ wxlua-users mailing list wxlua-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wxlua-users
