Dynamically Using a Method/Field in a Class Topic is solved

Not sure if this is intentional, but you cannot do this, or at least not the way I would expect. Example below:

Code: Select all

class C
{
	someField := "hello"
	
	test()
	{
		f := "field"
		m := "method"
		var := this.some%m%("hi")		;Error: 'Ambiguous or invalid use of "."'
		this.some%f% := var			;Error: 'This line does not contain a recognized action.'
	}
	
	someMethod(str)
	{
		return str
	}
}

Topic moved:
You cannot use %% when accessing objects at all.
Always use [] instead.

I'm confused. Are you saying to do something like this?

Code: Select all

var := this["some" . m]("hi")
this["some" . f] := var

It runs now, but it doesn't do anything. It doesn't call someMethod, and doesn't change someField.

yes and it does:

Code: Select all

class C
{
	someField := "hello"
	
	test()
	{
		f := "Field"
		m := "method"
		MsgBox % this.someField
		var := this["some" m]("hi")		;Error: 'Ambiguous or invalid use of "."'
		MsgBox % var
		this["some" f] := var			;Error: 'This line does not contain a recognized action.'
		MsgBox % this.someField
	}
	
	someMethod(str)
	{
		return str
	}
}

Obj := new C()
Obj.test()
MsgBox % Obj.someField
MsgBox exit

Oh derp, my bad I was just doing obj = new C(), not :=

Thanks to both of you for helping.
