Problem when calling a Method

[nnnik]

Hi
I have a problem.
When I call a method in a specific way "this" contains the first parameter - (logic considering "this" is just a hidden parameter):

Code: Select all

class TestClass{
TestMethod(){
	Msgbox % this
}
}

Class TestClass2{
__new(){
	this.TestSubClass:=new TestClass()
}
}

Var:="TestMethod"
Test:=new TestClass2()
Test.TestSubClass[Var].("Fail") ; I cant use Test.TestSubClass.TestMethod() in the specific context

What am I doing wrong?

[HotKeyIt]

Code: Select all

Test["TestSubClass"][Var]()

[uname]

Code: Select all

class TestClass{
    TestMethod(prms*) {
        Msgbox % ">" this "`n>" this.__class "`n>" prms[1] 
    }
}

Class TestClass2{
    __new(){
        this.TestSubClass := new TestClass()
    }
}

Var:="TestMethod"
Test:=new TestClass2()
Test.TestSubClass[Var].("Fail") ; I cant use Test.TestSubClass.TestMethod() in the specific context
(Test.TestSubClass)[var]("fail")


/*
•Currently x.y[z]() is treated as x["y", z](), which is not supported.
As a workaround, (x.y)[z]() evaluates x.y first, then uses the result as the target of the method call.
Note that x.y[z].() does not have this limitation since it is evaluated the same as (x.y[z]).().

Code: Select all

Test["TestSubClass"][Var]()

Doesn't do anything.
Even produces errors.

It works just fine and does not produce any errors, when placed at the end of the script in your first post.

Test.TestSubClass[Var]() does not work, but that's not what HotKeyIt posted or what you quoted.

This is almost like the confusion i had over here: http://ahkscript.org/boards/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2784
except... i did read the docs
mixing up the different notations test.var vs test["var"]
