Hi Hilmar,

>lnReturnValue = GrandParent::MyClass(Par1, Par2)
I'm presuming that I would replace "GrandParent" with the actual name of my grandparent class.

Do you know if there is some generic way to get at that name?
I would like to allow for the possibility of inserting a class in between the current parent class and current grandparent class (redefine parent to ??, making the grandparent a greatgrandparent). I would still want to inherit from the new grandparent.
