[Gambas-user] Make String class friendlier

[Martin]

ok, I do not know the scope that something like this can have in the 
performance of the interpreter, but I leave an example of an independent 
class that works in the way I say except that it must be defined as "AS New"

in some form...

'------------------------------------------------------------------------

Public Sub Form_Open()

   Dim text As New Chain

   text.Text = "gambas"

   Print text.Text
   Print text.ToUpper

End

'------------------------------------------------------------------------

... then the class

'------------------------------------------------------------------------
Export

Private textValue As String

Property Read ToUpper As String

Property Text As String

Private Sub Text_Write(Value As String)

   textValue = Value

End

Private Function ToUpper_Read() As String

   Return Upper(TextValue)

End

Private Function Text_Read() As String

   Return TextValue

End

'------------------------------------------------------------------------
