Questions about object members lists

[xinjie]

Hi, everyone

I started practicing writing a class that inherits from System.Windows.Forms.Form . In the process of writing the class code, I found a problem. When I type “This.”, I see a list of members as shown below:

My question is, why doesn't it show all the members of System.Windows.Forms.Form, such as its properties, methods, etc.?

Is this a bug?

What happens, if you select "All Methods"?

Hi, FFF

A screenshot is showing all.

I mean this list doesn't show all the members. If I need to call a method or assign a value to a property, I have to consult the documentation.

Hi xinjie,

It's a bug, will open a ticket for this to be fixed.

I think those related problems come from the fact that in VFP all classes eventually inherit from a base "Custom" class, while in .Net all classes inherit from System.Object. In X# we need to support both cases for the VFP dialect and the DEFINE CLASS syntax, and it becomes complicated.

If you use the standard X# base syntax for defining a class (CLASS name INHERIT type) then memeber completion works as expected, but I am not suggesting that you should change your code, the problem in member completion needs to be fixed. Maybe until it's fixed, you can temporarily use the standard syntax though.
