| ok..heres the problem.. type displayunit1 method Cls() Cls() 'circular conflict...infinite looping hell endmethod endtype type displayunit2 extends displayunit1 method Cls() drawimage() blah... blah... blah... endmethod endtype basically as you can see i have two classes, and they both use a method called cls() to clear the screen... the extended class displayunit2 performs custom clearing ops..and the base displayunit1 falls back to default screen clearing.. what i want to do is force a call to the cls() function outwith the object..so that the cls() in the base class doesnt call itself..i know i can simply call it something else, but the point is that id prefer to use this keyword..and probably quite a few other global space function names.. is this possible? |
