I am trying to work out whether a .Symbol as returned by Class.Symbols (or more
correctly Classes["someclass"].["somesymbolname"]) is local, inherited or
overridden.
(Don't ask, "Why?".)
In my naive days back in Gambas 2 I had the following routine that seemed to go
a far way there:
Public Sub btnCopyOwnProps_Click()
Dim sList As New String[]
Dim symName As String
For Each symName In $currControl.Symbols
If $currControl[symName].kind = Class.Property Then
Try IsNull($currParent[symName])
If Error Then
sList.Add(MakeProp(symName))
Endif
Endif
Next
sList.Sort
Clipboard.Copy(sList.Join("\n"))
End
This was, as far as I can recall, supposed to copy the names of property
symbols declared in the subject $currControl class onto the clipboard that are
not declared in the $currControl's parent class($currParent), i.e. they are
local properties. This still appears to work for detecting whether a property
is local or inherited. However, what is driving me mad is trying to detect
whether the current class actually overrides the inherited property......
Is there any way to detect this? The IDE help browser "seems" to do so somehow,
but I think it is doing it some other way.
(If you r e a l l y want to know why, it's for a custom control code
generator. ... ... ... I didn't think so...)
