Hi Costas,

"This" is only applicable for test1 or test2, in other words, for the own object. You can not use this.showstring on some objects heirs. Try it:

Define Test1 as Test
  function fixFunc(aString)
    test::showString('String: '+aString)
  endfunc
Enddefine

I never did that thing outside of a form. But, just try it !!

>The problem is when I use showString() in Test2. It calls fixFunc() which then should call my showString() in Test. instead, of course, it calls the one in Test2 and goes into infinite recursion. I can use Test::showString() instead of this.showString() and it would work. But then that means you have to specify the class of any method you are using which defeats a main feature of inheritance.
