embedded classes or methods?

[liquid8]

I have been trying to find out how exactly you can embed classes/methods to get the following line to be processed:

 

Pages(1).Buttons(1).Add

 

How would a basic class look for this? Or would you have to create a Namespace?

 

I was trying to do something like:

 

Class Pages
    Class Buttons
         Property Add()
         End Property
    End Buttons
End Class

 

But I don't see a way or can't pass an index to a Class, can I? Basically, I want properties within properties or methods within methods..

 

Thanks in advance,

That's not "embedding" classes or methods. In this case, you would define your Pages class, and you would define a strongly-typed collection called ButtonCollection or something. Then you'd make a readonly property in the Pages class called Buttons, of type ButtonCollection.

 

Assuming the ButtonCollection had an Add method, you could then do,

 

Pages.Buttons.Add(blah)

 

For more help on creating a strongly-typed collection, see the CollectionBase class in the help. You'll have to inherit this.

 

If you wanted Pages itself to be a collection, you'd have to have to go two levels higher and write a PageCollection class, and have another class to host a property called Pages, of that type.

looks a bit more difficult than i thought.. i'll look more into the collectionbase.. thanks for steering me in the right direction.
