Object Programming Question (Resolved)

Hello,

I've set up an object, and am trying to nest other objects. However, it seems that it won't work. Can anyone help?

Example Code (in a .BAS Module):

Public Type AObj
Param1 as Integer
Param2 as Integer
End Type

Public Type BObj
Params as AObj
End Type

Public BigObject as BObj

When using this, I can enter:
a = BigObject.Params

The following won't work:
a = BigObject.Params.Param1
a = BigObject.Params.Param2

Any Ideas on how to make this work?
I'm using VB6-SP5

Thanks,
Ken

1-does vb6 support oop & Inheritence ?I don't think so :)
2-Don't you have to use class to build your code ?(I think you have to) ?
If this is wrong plz let me know .

I Know VB6 doesn't support inheritance, but I'm not sure about oop.

I'm not sure why I'de need to use Class Builder (I'm not very good with class).

Does this work?

VB Code:

a = BigObject.Params
 
b = a.Param1
b = b.Param2

I'm pretty sure this "nesting" of types works in VB6, I've done it before......

a = BigObject.Params.Param1

It would not work because of type mismatch

a is a type of BObj and BigObject.Params.Param1 is an integer.

It shuld be
a.Param1 = BigObject.Params.Param1

In general you are confusing UDT and objects that are not the same thing

You can use inheritance technigue in VB. Read about keuword Implements

Split,

You are correct, I am working with UDT's.



When you "Nest" UDT's, all subordinates of each of the UDT's must be fully functional and correct, or else none of the UDT will work. Also, each subordinate must have at least 1 item.

Thanks all,
