[Zope] Classes

[Tom Deprez]

This is what I'm trying to achieve :

A ZClass when added, fills some properties according to where it is created.
eg. a propety called Parent. When the instance of the class is created, it
looks for its parent-name and puts that name in the property 'Parent'.
When the instance is moved, it should look again for the name of its parent
(because the parent is changed) and thus change it's property 'Parent'.

(this is a dumb example, but I think it illustrates what I want to achieve).

Thanks in advance,
Tom.
