fundamental changes more easily. Have you learned about property sheets yet? They are the key to success with ZClasses.
Nope, where shall I go to read the fine manual on those?
I'm not sure, but let me just give you enough info to get started. ZClasses have a "property sheets" tab where you can add sheets. Group relevant properties together. Then go to the ZClass "Views" tab and add your property sheets to the list of views of your objects available through the management interface. Voila--not only do your class instances have configurable properties with defaults, but the management interface lets you set them. And the effort required was minimal.
Yeah, this is the part of acquisition that I _get_, but just shy away from for some reason. I need to get over that, because this is probably one of the coolest things about acquisition.
I also avoid it because its behavior is not completely obvious, thus even if I understand it, someone else who has to maintain my work later may shoot him/herself in the foot with the bullet I've provided!
Thanks so much, I hope others on the list are profiting from this exchange as much as I am!
Thanks for a nice Friday discussion. Shane
