Rick, This is such a change that I think we need to discuss it for a little while. At first reading, I don't see a problem with it. I also have missed at times in the past the Java-like behavior, which I was used to when I first was working with ooRexx. But now I haven't done any serious thing

[Oorexx-devel] A proposal for loosening the rules for private methods.

2008-08-13 Thread Rick McGuire
There's one feature of other languages like C++ and Java I really miss in ooRexx. In Java, an instance of a class can access non-public methods and fields of another instance of the same class. ooRexx has PRIVATE methods, but access to those methods is limited to calls from the within the same ob

I'm not sure I have enough information to work with. What sort of context are you in where you need to resolve this? Are you in a method call or in one of your signal handlers? How are you using FindClass? Note that the class name does NOT include a period, which might be the reason for your lo

2008-08-13 Thread David Ashley
Rick - I have a new problem. All but two of my GTK classes derrive internally from a root GTK object known as GObject. This object has two functions you can call to store/retrieve key/value pairs that are specific to a single GObject. I use this facility so that when I have only a widget pointe

Rick - Once again you have pulled me from the fire :-) Once I implemented your directions everything began working fine. I have now eliminated all of the POINTER and POINTER= methods in the main class file. I still have to stamp out a few bugs that I have introduced but everything appears to be

Just some thoughts on this thread which I have been following with some interest. The first is a question: when did the the RexxQueue class appear or has it always been there and I just didn't notice it? It appears to be an OO way - objects and methods - of dealing with the external data queu

My intent for the makearray method was for it to remove the lines from queue, not leave them in. The intent here is to be able to use a DO OVER loop to iterate over the lines in the queue. So remove the line that put it back. I'd also recommend making just a single call to queued with a temporar

Re: [Oorexx-devel] Build problems again

2008-08-13 Thread Rick McGuire
Close. It was the step after rexxutil.dll in buildorx.bat that had the problem. I must have done a "move" rather than a "copy" when fixing up the rxftp step, which caused the build to fail, but only if you were redirecting the build to a log file (not my normal mode of operation). This should be
