Anyone else agree, or am I way off track?
That sounds about accurate to me. Dreamora's way is the quickest and best, as far as I'm concerned.
Yeah. Too bad it doesn't work. (As in it's not a deep clone, just a shallow one). Wait a sec, how can an object reference a master object? (Not certainly with "field")
Why not? Many GUI's have parent container type classes... I don't understand why this can't be built in, couldn't it just generate the code for the copy function for you?
No. Because the compiler cannot read your mind, and even if it could, it would screw up when someone with a different mind tried to compile your source. :o>
