The way I look at it, your create an object and it does something for your based on you calling it's methods, settting and retreiving it's properties, etc. Whether you can cause the object's nethod(s) to operate on multiiple different components would be a function of how the methods are designed and programmed to operate. I'm not sure your basic understanding of objects is congruent with my experience of how they are typically used. You don't take action to make it do something in a particular way, it defines the actions it can provide and you decide if you are going to make use of those actions. **** [EMAIL PROTECTED] <Carl Jolley> **** All opinions are my own and not necessarily those of my employer **** _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
