[Gambas-user] Value is not static

[Bruce Steers]

error i see is...
you are naming your variable the same as the class "class1"  maybe try *Dim
myClass as New Class1* or something

Try this...
 ' Gambas module file


Public Sub Main()
  Dim myClass As New Class1
  Dim CalcValue As Integer
  myClass.Value1 = 3
  If myClass.ProcessIt() Then
    CalcValue = myClass.Value2
    Print CalcValue
  Else
    Print "An error Occurred"
  Endif
End

There using myClass.Value1 will access your defined instanced variable

using Class1.Value1 tries to access a static variable.

Static variables and functions are available through the class itself, non
static variables/functions are available through a defined instance of it.

think of a static variable as a global setting you can define for the class
at any time without creating a new object
non static as things you can set/use for each individual defined object.
