Hi,
In my ongoing effort to cleanup managedwin, I've noticed a trend to do
things like:
Class ManagedWin {
public method something {} { return 1 }
public method frob {} {
if {[something]} {
_frob_it
}
}
Class MyWin {
inherit ManagedWin
public method something {} { return 0 }
}
This is supposed to dictate to ManagedWin not to frob MyWin. Question
is: Why is this any better than just using a protected variable? It
would seem to me to be a lot cleaner...
