asked on
additional properties and methods to existing class
Hello All,
I have a set of Excel workbooks with similar features which I think would be nicely dealt with thru classes. I would like to add some properties and methods but how I can add them if this object class, workbook, already exists with its standard set of properties, methods, and events?
Thank you very much!

Hey Arthur,
sorry if my mark caused your disagreement - I respect your point of view. I gave "B" because to me an A answer would have to have an example of such "mimmicing" the way it would be done in VB6. If you insist I can raise this issued again and with pleasure award you an A. Say, we need a class clsCashRec that have all properties of an Excell workbook and for which we implement a method Reconcile. This method would look like myWorkbook.Reconcile
I'd appreciate if you could show how to do that and even raise the pints awarded to 250.
Thanks!

no, but you could have asked for the additional explanation.
Public Class clsCashRec
Private m_clsCashRecXLS as Excel.WorkBook
Private m_LocalData as Integer
Public Sub Class_Initialize()
Set m_clsCashRecXLS = New Excel.WorkBook
End Sub
Public Property Get WorkBookPropertyToMimic1()
WorkBookPropertyToMimic1 = m_clsCashRecXLS.WorkBookPr
End Property
Public Property Let WorkBookPropertyToMimic1(R
m_clsCashRecXLS.WorkBookPr
End Sub
.
.
.
Public Sub Reconcile(ByVal Arg as ArgType)
' code to do what you need to do, using the m_clsCashRecXLS workbook object as needed
End Sub
End Class
is the basic structure of the approach, using DELEGATION

Thanks a lot Arthur!,
You now what, I lost my confidence temporarily since one of the experts slept me a worning that asking additional questions, and in that case the situation was very close, is violating the clause about asking several questions in one Q. I desagreed with him in writing , (https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21373500/query-results-into-spreadsheet.html) but decided to act more concervatively. This case proves my point - additional answares MUST be asked for the answer to rich its maximum value!!!
Do you want you me to post this Q once again?
