Check out Renaun Erickson’s Object Composition example
July 13th, 2006
Yesterday I posted some notes about how I’m getting a bunch of nested components to talk to each other. Some folks call this approach of nested components “object composition.” In particular, Renaun Erickson followed up with a blog post of his own that provides some good sample source code for doing this. He took it a step further than I did and actually created a CompositionBase class that the subcomponents all extend. This seems like a good approach for making the relationships a little more formal while retaining the fluidity that is required.
I'm working on Noteflight, an online music writing application that lets you create, view, print and hear music notation with professional quality, right in your web browser. Work on a score from any computer on the Internet, share it with other users, and embed it in your own pages. Noteflight is free for individual use. Email me at dcoletta at noteflight dot com.
