Extended VO Classes with own Methods

Post by lagraf »

What can I do if I extended some VO Base Classes (__FormDialogWindow, Control) with own Methods:
  • Subclassing is not a good idea with base classes
  • How does it work with the transporter generated Control_external_class, is this an easier way

Hallo Franz,
wenn Du nicht auf interne Variablen der Klasse zugreifen musst, sind extension methods das Beste.

Hallo Franz,
noch was: das, was der XPorter macht, ist nur ein Workaround, damit sich der Code kompilieren lässt - damit funktioniert Dein Code sicher nicht.

Hallo Wolfgang,
ich habe die Methode für die Control Klasse dann so implementiert:

Code: Select all

STATIC CLASS ControlExtensions
STATIC METHOD PostFocus() 
    PostMessage( GetParent(SELF:Handle()) , WM_NextDlgCtl , DWORD( _CAST , SELF:Handle() ) , 1L )
    IF IsInstanceOf(SELF,#SingleLineEdit)
        PostMessage(SELF:Handle(), EM_SETSEL, 0, LONG(_CAST,SLen(RTrim(SELF:TextValue))))
        PostMessage(SELF:Handle(), EM_SCROLLCARET, 0, 0L )
    ELSEIF IsInstanceOf(SELF,#MultiLineEdit)
        PostMessage(SELF:Handle(), EM_SETSEL, 0, 0L )
        PostMessage(SELF:Handle(), EM_SCROLLCARET, 0, 0L )
    ENDIF
    RETURN NIL
END CLASS
Damit müßte die Methode PostFocus() bei allen von Control abgeleiteten Klassen verfügbar sein, richtig?

Hallo Franz,
nein, so funktioniert das leider nicht.
"self" gibt es in Deiner statischen Klasse nicht.
Das gehört so:

Code: Select all

STATIC CLASS ControlExtensions
STATIC METHOD PostFocus( self oControl as Control ) as void
    PostMessage( GetParent(oControl:Handle()) , WM_NextDlgCtl , DWORD( _CAST , oControl:Handle() ) , 1L )
    IF IsInstanceOf(oControl,#SingleLineEdit)
        PostMessage(oControl:Handle(), EM_SETSEL, 0, LONG(_CAST,SLen(RTrim(oControl:TextValue))))
        PostMessage(oControl:Handle(), EM_SCROLLCARET, 0, 0L )
    ELSEIF IsInstanceOf(oControl,#MultiLineEdit)
        PostMessage(oControl:Handle(), EM_SETSEL, 0, 0L )
        PostMessage(Control:Handle(), EM_SCROLLCARET, 0, 0L )
    ENDIF
    RETURN
END CLASS

Hi Wolfgang,
thank you for the code, but I think you meant oControl in "PostMessage(Control:Handle(), EM_SCROLLCARET, 0, 0L )".
It compiles without error in this Method.
When I have corrected the remaining errors in this app I will see if it runs.

Hi Franz,
yes, of course, you are correct.
This was a typing error on my side.
