overriding

If the generic type argument (of either a calling class or calling method) is constrained with where T : Base the new method in T == Derived is not called, instead the method in Base is called. Why is the type T ignored for method call even though it should be known before run time? Update : BUT, when the constraint is using an interface like where T : IBase the method in Base class is called (not the method in interface, which is also impossible). So that means the system actually is able to detect the types that far and go beyond the type constraint! Then why doesn't it go beyond the type

To the point, I want to override the standard js confirm() function within a jQuery plugin. I have figured out how to do it with the simple function layout below. function confirm(opts) { //code } Now, what I want to do is call another function within the confirm function above, like so... function confirm(opts) { openModal(opts); } The openModal function will open a custom modal window with the message and required buttons. The buttons are both <span> with the id of either submit or cancel . submit returns true and cancel returns false. But now, how do I return either true or false based on

Assume you have a class that defines virtual methods with the access specifier public. Can you change the access specifier on your overriden methods? I am assuming no. Looking for an explanation. Uri Yes you can, but it "doesn't grok". Take a look at Overriding public virtual functions with private functions in C++ The answer is: sort of. You can only change the access of members the derived class has access to. The type of inheritance has no effect - this only controls the default access for inherited members (to a point, following other rules). So, you can make a base class's protected

I can't figure out what is up with this. I have a Scene class that has a vector of Entities and allows you to add and get Entities from the scene: class Scene { private: // -- PRIVATE DATA ------ vector<Entity> entityList; public: // -- STRUCTORS --------- Scene(); // -- PUBLIC METHODS ---- void addEntity(Entity); // Add entity to list Entity getEntity(int); // Get entity from list int entityCount(); }; My Entity class is as follows (output is for testing): class Entity { public: virtual void draw() { cout << "No" << endl; }; }; And then I have a Polygon class that inherits from Entity: class

The simple code below describes my question (at least I hopse so): $.widget("ui.mydialog", $.ui.dialog, { _create: function() { // How to call _create method of dialog? } }); I tried to call $.ui.dialog.prototype._create() from within the above create method, but get the below error in Firebug: this.element is undefined this.originalTitle = this.element.attr('title'); jquery...5667348 (line 5864) How else can I call that "super" method? jQuery UI version 1.8.8 I guess I just found a solution ... $.ui.dialog.prototype._create.call(this); The full code: $.widget("ui.ajaxdialog", $.ui.dialog, {

I am trying to add my own error handling to the JavaScript setTimeout function. The following code works fine in chrome: var oldSetTimeout = window.setTimeout; window.setTimeout = function setTimeout(func, delay) { var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 0); args[0] = function timeoutFunction() { var timeoutArgs = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 0); try { func.apply(this,timeoutArgs); } catch (exception) { //Do Error Handling } } return oldSetTimeout.apply(this, args); } But in IE7 it turns into a recursive function. For some reason oldSetTimeout gets set to the new function.
