[DUG] Accessing an ancestor class private field

[David Brennan]

Good point. I've never used RTTI to access private variables. TBH I wasn't
sure it was possible so I'm leaving you to champion that method ;-)

 

Cheers,

David.

I still think RTTI is the only "real" way, but I accept it's more work than
yours or Kyley's suggestions.

Private variables are more difficult. I think Kyley's suggestion is the only
real way but it's dangerous if anything changes.

I seem to recall someone posting a message showing a hack of how to access a
private field in an ancestor class. 

Something along the lines of redeclaring the field in the descendant class.
I've tried to find the solution, but with no luck. 

Can someone please remind me. Thanks.
