Sergey,

>If you have to skip levels in the class hierarchy than something is wrong with you class design, IMHO.

It is not true on general, and if this were true, it would have to remove the Scope Resolution Operator from the languages to objects and to only use dodefault() or similar command.

Example:

Keypress event is a true effective event if you call it within a subclass
code.

Example:

* within a textBox subclass
PROCEDURE PippoPappo
  .....
  TextBox::Keypress(32,0) && this send a space to the TextBox
  .....

but this.KeyPress(32,0) not send space.

For use this.KeyPress(32,0), I need to put repetitive extra code

PROCEDURE KeyPress
LPARAMETERS nKeyCode, nShiftAltCtrl
 DODEFAULT(@m.nKeyCode, @m.nShiftAltCtrl)
 NODEFAULT
ENDPROC

on any subclass level of my TextBox.
