Accessing a Field by using Object reference ?

Hi

For the purpose of an Object Inspector Tool I created different type in order to manipulate primitive type like int, float, etc.

I create a field inside to receive the primitive and modify it with specific methods.

But to access this primitive I still need to do something like :

Local managed:Type_int = Type_int.create(10) 'Simply set the  Field myInt:int and return a Type_int object
print managed.myInt

Is there any solution to directly access the primitive Field by using the reference object ?

Local managed:Type_int = Type_int.create(10) 'Simply set the  Field myInt:int and return a Type_int object
print managed

This would clean my code a lot !
Thanks

Nope, don't think so, sorry.

Print Int Ptr(Byte Ptr(managed))[0]

Beautiful :)

Or a little more complex:

Type Type_Int
	Field value:Int
	Method ToString:String()
		Return value
	EndMethod
	Function Create:Type_Int(value:Int)
		Local t:Type_Int = New Type_Int
		t.value = value
		Return t
	EndFunction
EndType

Function sPrint(o:Object)
	Print o.ToString()
EndFunction

Local managed:Type_int = Type_int.Create(10) 'Simply set the  Field myInt:int and return a Type_int object
sPrint(managed)

I think Armitage wanted to use it everywhere like that, not just in a print statement.

Exactly
But thanks anyway fredborg those are interesting piece of code to learn from.
