L11-Inheritance

Inheritancethe concept

Inheritance

• Now, let’s have the following class:

#pragma once

using namespace::System;

ref class MyClass

{

public:

MyClass(void);

virtual String ^ToString() override;

};

Inheritance

#include "StdAfx.h"

#include "MyClass.h"

MyClass::MyClass(void)

{}

String^ MyClass::ToString()

{

return "I won't red 3leek :P:P ";

};

Inheritance

• What happens? private: System::Void button1_Click(System::Object^ sender,

System::EventArgs^ e)

{

MyClass ^MC = gcnew MyClass;

textBox1->Text = MC->ToString();

}

Inheritance

• Let’s get it bigger a little

#pragma once

using namespace::System;

ref class MyClass

{

public:

MyClass(String^ s1, String^ s2);

virtual String ^ToString() override;

private:

String ^FName;

String ^LName;

};

Inheritance

#include "StdAfx.h"


MyClass::MyClass(String^ s1, String^ s2)

{

FName = s1; LName = s2;

}

String^ MyClass::ToString()

{

return String::Format("{0}{1}{2}{3}", "My name is : ",

FName, " ", LName);

};

Inheritance

• What happens?

private: System::Void button1_Click(System::Object^ sender,


{

MyClass ^MC = gcnew MyClass("MeMe", "Auf-Wiedersehen");

textBox1->Text = MC->ToString();

}

Inheritance

• Let’s have the following ref class.• Everything ok?

#pragma once

ref class MyClass : System::Windows::Forms::Button

{

public:

MyClass(void);

};

Compiler error, why?

Inheritance

#pragma once

using namespace System;


{

public:

MyClass(void);

};

Inheritance

• Why doing this?

#pragma once


namespace dotNet8_Inher {

ref class Form1;


{

public: MyClass(void);

};

}

Forward declaration

Inheritance

• .cpp file

#include "StdAfx.h"




{}

}

Inheritance

• In Form1.h

• What will happen now?

private: System::Void Form1_Load(System::Object^

sender, System::EventArgs^ e)

{


MC->Parent = this;

}

• In Form1.h

• Sth needed? \ for Controls?



{


}

Inheritance

Inheritance

• Now, let’s have the following in cpp file#include "StdAfx.h"




{

this->Text = "I'M HAPPY!";

}

}

Inheritance

• Again, in Form1.h

• What will happen now?



{


MC ->Parent = this;

}

Inheritance

#include "StdAfx.h"




{

this->Location = System::Drawing::Point(223, 121);

this->Name = L"button1";

this->Size = System::Drawing::Size(75, 23);

this->TabIndex = 0;

this->Text = L"My Button!";

this->UseVisualStyleBackColor = true;

}

}

private: System::Void Form1_Load(System::Object^ sender,


{


MC ->Parent = this;

}

Inheritance

A way to steal :D

Multiple InheritanceThe concept

Multiple Inheritance

• Now, let’s see the following crazy code

#pragma once


namespace dotNet8_Inheir {

ref class Form1;

ref class MyClass : System::Windows::Forms::Button,

System::Windows::Forms::ComboBox

{

private:

Form1 ^MyForm;

public:

MyClass(Form1 ^f);

};

}

#include "StdAfx.h"




{




this->TabIndex = 0;



}

}



{


MC ->Parent = this;

}

Compiler errorAmbiguous, Why?

Multiple Inheritance

• Why? – Can’t know the “location” peoperties is for! – Can’t inhert from more than one base class in.NET!

• So, what to do?– Dump fix. (Do Not Do it (DNDI) unlsess necessary)

Multiple Inheritance - DNDI#pragma once



ref class Form1;

ref class MyClass : public System::Windows::Forms::Button

{

private:

Form1 ^MyForm;

System::Windows::Forms::ComboBox ^MyCB;

public:

MyClass(Form1 ^f);

void InitializeButton();

void

InitializeComboBox(System::Windows::Forms::ComboBox ^%);

};

}

#include "StdAfx.h"

#include "MyClass.h”

namespace dotNet8_Inheir

{

MyClass::MyClass(Form1 ^f)

{

MyForm = f;

InitializeButton();

InitializeComboBox(MyCB);

}

void MyClass::InitializeButton()

{




this->TabIndex = 0;



}

void MyClass::InitializeComboBox(System::Windows::Forms::ComboBox ^%CB)

{

CB = gcnew System::Windows::Forms::ComboBox;

CB->Location = System::Drawing::Point(223, 121);

CB->Size = System::Drawing::Size(75, 23);

CB->TabIndex = 0;

CB->Text = L"My ComboBox!";

CB->Parent = this;

}

}

Multiple Inheritance - DNDI

• Let’s start all over again



{

MyClass ^MC;

MC = gcnew MyClass(this);

}

Multiple Inheritance - DNDI#pragma once



ref class Form1;

ref class MyClass : public System::Windows::Forms::Button

{

private:

Form1 ^MyForm;

System::Windows::Forms::ComboBox ^MyCB;

public:

MyClass(Form1 ^f);

void InitializeButton();

void InitializeComboBox(System::Windows::Forms::ComboBox ^%);

void PlayIt(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e);

void comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(System::Object^ sender,

System::EventArgs^ e);

};

}

#include "StdAfx.h"


#include "Form1.h"

namespace dotNet8_Inheir

{

MyClass::MyClass(Form1 ^f)

{

MyForm = f;

this->Parent = MyForm;

InitializeButton();

InitializeComboBox(MyCB);

}

void MyClass::InitializeButton()

{

this->Button::Location = System::Drawing::Point(223, 121);



this->TabIndex = 0;



this->Click += gcnew System::EventHandler(this, &MyClass::PlayIt);

}

void MyClass::InitializeComboBox(System::Windows::Forms::ComboBox ^%CB)

{

CB = gcnew System::Windows::Forms::ComboBox;

CB->FormattingEnabled = true;

CB->Location = System::Drawing::Point(100, 100);

CB->Size = System::Drawing::Size(121, 21);

CB->TabIndex = 2;

MyCB->Parent = MyClass::Parent;

CB->SelectedIndexChanged += gcnew System::EventHandler(this,

&MyClass::comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged);

}

void MyClass::PlayIt(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e)

{

Drawing::Point P = (dynamic_cast <Button^> (sender))->Location;

MyCB->Location = P;

}

void MyClass::comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(System::Object^ sender,


{

}

}
