I was hoping to grab the list of consts from the Color type to apply randomly to a bunch of cubes! The reflection docs say you can only use this on user-defined types, but I’m assuming the mojo types would fall under this too…
The bananas example seems to be able to get a list of ALL types and their decls (including consts, I notice), but I can’t figure out how to just list the decls of one specific type…

' This works!' This... not so much...For Local decl:DeclInfo = Eachin ct.GetDecls ()Print declNextEndifEndThe aim being to strip out these and stick in a stack/list/array…

(This was with latest dev branch yesterday.)
From Limitations section in blog:
You can still use other types (structs etc) with variants etc, but you wont be able to inspect their members.
Print TypeInfo.GetType (“Color”)
For type-by-name you should to specify full namespace, like std.graphics.Color.
Nah, I’ve tried that:
1234567891011#Import "<reflection>"#Import "<std>"Using std..Function Main ()Print TypeInfo.GetType ("std.graphics.Color") ' Nope!EndThis results in “Caught signal:Memory access violation”.
Mark said improving reflection is one of near goal.
Yeah, I did read that, so will just wait, was just amusing myself anyway… at least it sounds like I was using it properly!
Weird, will look into it.
Ok, the main issue here is that Color is a struct, and structs aren’t currently reflected (hence the error ‘not a class or interface’).
This wasn’t an issue in bmx of course because it didn’t have structs, but I am yet to get them working properly with reflection in monkey2. I do plan to spend more time on reflection soon though and will be looking into this.
Ahh, cool… thanks, Mark.
