Access base object methods with child properties.

[danielo515]

Hello,

In javascript there is a method called call. In that method you pass the "object" you want to operate on. This is really useful when you want to override a class method just partially, or you want to use it at some point of the child class.

For example:

Code: Select all

class parent {
   __New(bar){
      this.foo:=bar
  }
    hello(){
      return this.foo
    }
}

class child extends parent{

    hello(){
      msgbox, % base.hello()
    }
  
}

So when I do:

Code: Select all

test := new child("Hi")
test.hello()

I expect a msgbox that says "Hi"

In the documentation says that the this object is added as first parameter, so when i access base method it should get the child object in his this reference. What am I missing? What I did wrong?

Thanks in advance.

•base.Method() always invokes the base of the class where the current method was defined, even if this is derived from a sub-class of that class or some other class entirely.
•base.Method() implicitly passes this as the first (hidden) parameter.

Dam it! this code works. I tested it and it works. Then I have to review what I have done bad in my real project.
