Hi!

It's not a bug it's a feature. Children object can be accessed per shortcuts like methods.

my mychild childmethod par1 par2

It can be confusing about reading such code.

therefore I use by coding XOTclIDE convencion that all child objects beginns with @ Also XOTclIDE syntax checker will understand this. so the code will look

my @mychild childmethod par1 par2

Anyway I use often methods call like this

[my info parent] parentMethod

why not a shourtcut for it

my parent parentMethod

Hi, I just joined this list to get this help. I am seeing this behaviour. It is giving lot of inconvenience to me. I want to know if it is a bug or not -?. In short, if I have a children object as the same name as parent object's proc/instproc . The parent object's method is not getting called.

Here is a sample code.

Object a Object a proc name {} { return "I am valli" } a name # returns "I am valli" Object a::name # Child object with same name as the proc a name # returns ::a::name and not the previous message

Is this the desired behaviour. Is there any workaround.

Regards Vallinayagam valli@ezorder.in
