do you have a question? your post isn't formatted as one

J

Jimmacle•1/5/24, 8:14 PM

i suggest trying what you're asking about, because you'll probably find your answer

A

Angius•1/5/24, 8:20 PM

I don't think a static class can inherit from a non-static class

M

MojiOP•1/5/24, 8:27 PM

how to embed code?

$code

static class LockscreenWindow : Window
{
    public override void DrawWindow()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("hi");
    }
}

static class LockscreenWindow : Window
{
    public override void DrawWindow()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("hi");
    }
}

static class LockscreenWindow : Window
{
    public override void DrawWindow()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("hi");
    }
}

static class LockscreenWindow : Window
{
    public override void DrawWindow()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("hi");
    }
}

this is lockacreen window class

Read what the bot posted instead of using the bot command, just FYI

MMoji $code ```class Window { public virtual void DrawWindow() { ...

M

MojiOP•1/5/24, 8:31 PM

it inherits from window class

A

Angius•1/5/24, 8:31 PM

And, again, static classes cannot inherit non-static classes

M

MojiOP•1/5/24, 8:31 PM

wait

A

Angius•1/5/24, 8:31 PM

Why is your

LockScreenWindow

LockScreenWindow

LockScreenWindow

LockScreenWindow static anyway?

M

MojiOP•1/5/24, 8:31 PM

thats what I wanna tell

AAngius I don't think a static class *can* inherit from a non-static class

J

Jimmacle•1/5/24, 8:32 PM

that's why i suggested trying it

J

Jimmacle•1/5/24, 8:32 PM

because it's not valid C#

J

Jimmacle•1/5/24, 8:32 PM

so this question doesn't make sense

You don't need the

, it's a command that makes the bot tell you how to post the code

M

MojiOP•1/5/24, 8:33 PM

oh

A

Angius•1/5/24, 8:33 PM

Just triple backtics,

cs

cs

cs, new line, code, new line, triple backticks

see this

M

MojiOP•1/5/24, 8:34 PM

I dont want to instantiate each window i have inheriting from window class

A

Angius•1/5/24, 8:35 PM

Well, tough

A

Angius•1/5/24, 8:36 PM

Window

Window

Window

Window is not static, so no class that inherits it can be static

M

MojiOP•1/5/24, 8:36 PM

So I make windows static?

A

Angius•1/5/24, 8:36 PM

Do you have access to the

Window

Window

Window

Window class?

M

MojiOP•1/5/24, 8:36 PM

yes

A

Angius•1/5/24, 8:36 PM

Is it a class you yourself created?

M

MojiOP•1/5/24, 8:36 PM

yes

M

MojiOP•1/5/24, 8:36 PM

indeed

A

Angius•1/5/24, 8:37 PM

Then sure, make it

static

static

static

static

A

Angius•1/5/24, 8:37 PM

And see what happens

MojiOP•1/5/24, 8:37 PM

class Window

Jimmacle•1/5/24, 8:37 PM

i think you'll find that static and inheritance don't mix

MMoji ```cs class Window { public virtual void DrawWindow() { } }...

M

MojiOP•1/5/24, 8:38 PM

DrawWindow is a virtual method here

J

Jimmacle•1/5/24, 8:38 PM

and?

MMoji $code ```static class LockscreenWindow : Window { public override void DrawW...

M

MojiOP•1/5/24, 8:39 PM

lockscreenwindow inherits from it

J

Jimmacle•1/5/24, 8:39 PM

that code is not valid

J

Jimmacle•1/5/24, 8:40 PM

static classes cannot inherit

MMoji ```cs using System; class WindowManager { public enum WindowName { ...

M

MojiOP•1/5/24, 8:41 PM

But i want to call drawwindow of locksreen(overridem method)here without instantiatimg here

JJimmacle that code is not valid

M

MojiOP•1/5/24, 8:41 PM

thats where I am stuck

J

Jimmacle•1/5/24, 8:41 PM

idk what you want us to say

J

Jimmacle•1/5/24, 8:41 PM

you can't call an instance method without an instance

MMoji ```cs using System; class WindowManager { public enum WindowName { ...

M

MojiOP•1/5/24, 8:41 PM

see here

J

Jimmacle•1/5/24, 8:41 PM

see what?
