Calling grandparent's method and not parent's

[grai]

If I have the following:

class1 extends class0

class2 extends class1

How do I call from class2 a method in class0 which has been over-ridden by class1 without calling the class1's method? Want I want to do is super.super.method();

Thanks.

You should have a very good and well documented reason for doing this.

The syntax is class0::method()..

hi,

isnt the classtype::method() only valid for static members?

[dave_59]

No, it's just that the classtype::method syntax is usually the only way to access the identifier of a static method.

Thanks Dave. I think I'm using this in a safe way as it's for my connect_phase(). I want to change some of the connections the parent makes without effecting the grandparent connections. I think this should be a good enough reason?? :-)

That's fine as long as it documented. If you start doing this too often, consider using configuration settings or making a sibling class as this jumping around will become hard to follow through many layers of inheritance.
