How to avoid duplicating methods

[Doug Easterbrook]

hi Martin

not to make too fine a point of it.       Table classes are a a specialized object class that is bound to a table.

meaning, you can do almost anything with a table class that you can do with an object class and vice versa after you have instantiated the object or table class

the only difference is how you instantiate either.

eg:

do list.$defineFromTableClass(’table’)

then you can use 

do list.$doSomething


for objects


do object.$newref()

do object.$DoSomething




so they are the same.



in your subwindow, you don’t need to go to the hassle of making an object if your main window has a table class that it is buld from AND your subwindow is using variables from that table class.



if you have a $save or $dowork in your table class you can call it from the main window and the subwindow.  you just need to have a reference to the list.
