[Gambas-user] How can I instantiate a virtual class?

[T Lee Davidson]

It seems, by what you have said, that you have already solved your own problem. So, I am unclear exactly what you are asking.

I may be missing something, and therefore this may be a dumb response. But, as a test of your concept, have you tried similar to
the following?

[code]
    Dim myMenu As New Menu[]
    Dim theMenu As Menu

    For Each theMenu In Menu1.Children
        myMenu.Add(theMenu)
    Next
    For Each theMenu In myMenu
        Print theMenu.Name
    Next
[/code]
