Re: How to access parent class/object?

["Adrian Hoe" <byhoe@greenlime.com>]

Hi,

Sorry for polluting the bandwidth. I posted this thread without
thinking hard enough. Stupid me! :-)

For the benefits of newbies:

I use class wide type to over this problem.

package A is
   type A_Object is tagged private;
   type A_Object_Access is access all A_Object'Class;
...
end A;

package B is
   type B_Object is new A_Object with private;
   type B_Object_Access is access all B_Object'Class;
...
end B;

package C is
   type C_Object is new B_Object with private;
   type C_Object_Access is access all C_Object'Class;
...
end C;

package D is
   type D_Object is new C_Object with private;
   type D_Object_Access is access all D_Object'Class;
...
end D;

With the declaration:
   My_D_Object : D.D_Object_Access;

Now, call the procedure with:
   Process_C (C_Object_Access (My_D_Object));

This should solve the problem.

Cheers,
