[vwnc] VW question...
Locked
 
|
Just a stupid question that I hadn't bothered to ask in the past.. I'm
working on some unit tests that make use of the #resource/#resources methods and other setup/teardown methods.. If I want to copy an existing class as a template for a new class, I create a new class, copy existing methods from existing class to new class and go on my merry way.. However, I was wondering if there was a way to select a class and say duplicate where it would copy and then name the new class something like "classDuplicate" or similar.. Anyway, if there is, then great -- if not, then I'll just continue doing what I've been doing thus far.. Thx! -- Rick _______________________________________________ vwnc mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/vwnc |

If you want to copy a class
and existing methods, I'd imagine subclassing it would be the normal way. Or
more likely, making the common parts into an abstract superclass, with the
original class and your new class as subclasses of that.
If you really want to duplicate code, I
don't know of a command in the browser to do that. I guess you could file out
the class, change its name in the file, then file it in again.
Cheers,

There's a parcel/package called ClassCloning that adds a menu item to

I gather from another post there is a package that adds this.
However, what I have always done is a FileOut of the class, then edit it to change all the original name to the new name then file-in. Richard E.

Steven Kelly wrote: I often want to do that -- just to get the method patterns right -- or sometimes because I want to split a class into two -- and its not reasonable to do it by means of the RB a method at a time -- simpler to copy the class and then delete what I don't want. These are usually not subclasses one of the other, but maybe have a common superclass. So cloning a class is really useful sometimes.
