Brian, I thought that was the case, but it turns out, I do not have any of my created ZClasses (which are based on Object Manager) in that list box. They don't show up. Since they are supposed to be there something is wrong. I just wanted to confirm that. Thanks! Jason Spisak webmaster@mtear.com Brian Lloyd wrote:

Zopists,

I noticed a post in the list a while back about Subclassing. In order to make a ZClass inherit from a Base ZClass like lets say a "Findable" :) base class. Then I have to put all of the ZClasses that I want to decend from Findable inside the Findable ZClass. Since they don't show up in the "Add ZClass" interface. Won't this means that the Findable ZClass will be very fat indeed? I'm probably misinterpreting the Subclass issue.

All my best,

Jason Spisak

A ZClass doesn't need to be contained in another ZClass in order to inherit from it. For example, let's say you create a Product called "SpamCan". Inside of SpamCan, you can create a "Findable" ZClass. After adding that, you can create a "SpamCan" ZClass and "Findable" should show up in the list of possible base classes when you define SpamCan. It should also show up in the bases list if you try to create more ZClasses _inside_ of the SpamCan class.

Hope this helps!
