Detailed Description

Base superclass.

For internal use only, this is automatically added to all classes as a superclass.

Member Function Documentation

ClassIsLatestVersion()

_.Library.Boolean ClassIsLatestVersion ( )

staticprivate

Return true if this instance is the latest version of this class, and false.

if the class has been recompiled so there is a newer version on disk

ClassName()

_.Library.String ClassName ( _.Library.Boolean  fullname )

staticprivate

Returns the object's class name.

The fullname determines how the

class name is represented. If it is 1 then it returns the full class name including any package qualifier. If it is 0 (the default) then it returns the name of the class without the package, this is mainly for backward compatibility with the pre-package behaviour of ClassName.

DispatchMethod()

DispatchMethod ( _.Library.String  Method,   Args  )

private

Is used to implement an unknown method call.

It is also used

to resolve an unknown multidimensional property reference (to get the value of a property) because that syntax is identical to a method call.

Reimplemented in IResultSet.

IsA()

_.Library.Integer IsA ( _.Library.String  isclass )

staticprivate

Returns true (1) if instances of this class are also instances of the isclass parameter.

That is 'isclass' is a primary superclass of this object.

New()

_.Library.ObjectHandle New ( _.Library.RawString  initvalue )

staticprivate

Creates a new instance of object in memory.

<METHOD>New</METHOD> creates an OREF value that refers

to the object instance, registers the OREF with the system along with its class name, and reserves system storage for the properties.

<METHOD>New</METHOD> initializes all the object's properties to their default values and calls the user-provided method, <METHOD>OnNew</METHOD>, if it is present. The optional arguments are passed on to the <METHOD>OnNew</METHOD> method. If the object is persistent, its OID is set to null string ("").

<METHOD>New</METHOD> returns an OREF value that refers to the new object instance or $$$NULLOREF if unable to create the object instance.

OriginalNamespace()

_.Library.String OriginalNamespace ( )

staticprivate

Return the namespace this oref was created in.

This also returns the namespace this class was first referenced in if calling class methods.
