[OpenLayers-Dev] Re: Strange behaviour in OpenLayers

[Xavier Mamano (jorix)]

Hi Gael,

"OpenLayers.inherit" is a new method that is used internally in Class. It
can be used directly, but not as you use it. If you use "OpenLayers.inherit"
should not use "Class". Use "OpenLayers.inherit" is not the normal way of
working with OpenLayers.

See example:


// Superclass A
A = OpenLayers.Class({
    initialize: function() {alert("New A")},
    f: function() { alert('A'); },
    super: "A"
});

// Class B, inherit from Superclass A using the OpenLayers.inherit function
B = function() {alert("New B")};
OpenLayers.inherit(B, A, {
    b: "B",
    f: function() { alert('B from ' +this.super);}
});
// Class BB, inherit from class B using OpenLayers.Class()
BB = OpenLayers.Class(B, {
    initialize: function() {alert("New BB from " + this.b)},
    f: function() { alert('BB from ' +this.super); }
});

// Class C, inherit from Superclass A inline
C = OpenLayers.Class(A, {
    initialize: function() {alert("New C")},
    f: function() { alert('C from ' +this.super); }
});

var b = new B(); // Alert "New B"
b.f(); // Alert "B from A" 

var c = new C(); // Alert "New B"
c.f(); // Alert "C from A" as expected

var bb = new BB(); // Alert "New BB from B" as expected
bb.f();// Alert "BB from A" as expected


Note: Not to be confused with "OpenLayers.Class.inherit" function that is
deprecated.
