embedded classes or methods?

[liquid8]

I have been trying to find out how exactly you can embed classes/methods to get the following line to be processed:

Pages(1).Buttons(1).Add

How would a basic class look for this? Or would you have to create a Namespace?

I was trying to do something like:

Class Pages
     Class Buttons
          Property Add()
          End Property
     End Buttons
End Class

But I dont see a way or cant pass an index to a Class, can I? Basically, I want properties within properties or methods within methods..

Thanks in advance,

Thats not "embedding" classes or methods. In this case, you would define your Pages class, and you would define a strongly-typed collection called ButtonCollection or something. Then youd make a readonly property in the Pages class called Buttons, of type ButtonCollection.

Assuming the ButtonCollection had an Add method, you could then do,

Pages.Buttons.Add(blah)

For more help on creating a strongly-typed collection, see the CollectionBase class in the help. Youll have to inherit this.

If you wanted Pages itself to be a collection, youd have to have to go two levels higher and write a PageCollection class, and have another class to host a property called Pages, of that type.

looks a bit more difficult than i thought.. ill look more into the collectionbase.. thanks for steering me in the right direction.
