Where is SUPER?

I can work without SUPER

But when I type SUPER: it supposed to door kick a combo box like when I type SELF.

So, let me this is valid statement:

Code: Select all

CLASS SubClass INHERIT SuperClass
	PROTECT Owner AS Window
	
CONSTRUCTOR(newData AS ARRAY)

	SUPER(newData)
	
	RETURN SELF

Hi Rene,

Yes this is correct, you need to use the SUPER(<params>) syntax in order to invoke the parent constructor. If you do not supply one, the compiler will automatically include it, but the parent class needs to have a parameterless constructor for that to work.

And yes, when you type "SUPER:" in order to access a member of the parent class, you should get a completion list.

Thanks Chris,

I have so much to learn... X# is not VO.

Hi Rene,

Well, "SUPER:" is the same as in VO, isn't it? Also actually you can also use SUPER:Init() to call the parent constructor, if you also enable the vo1 compatibility option in your project, but I think it's a good idea to do it the ".Net way", using the SUPER() syntax instead.
