The help page entitled "External_Interfaces" explains how to use "class property" to declare nested classes. And it works for constructing an instance of a class, but I can't seem to use it with "is" or to cast another object.

  if myObj1 is myObj2.nestedClass1.nestedClass2 then begin
fails with:
  [Error] myUnit.wbs (249,32): Expected then but instead found .

and:

  myVar := myObj2.nestedClass1.nestedClass2(myObj1).someFunction;
fails with:
  [Error] myUnit.wbs (252,47): There is no function or procedure declaration that matches the nestedClass2(myObj1).someFunction reference

Should this work, or am I going about it the wrong way?

You're not going to be able to do that.  The "class property" technique is
just a trick for the external JS references, it doesn't actually make
EWB/Object Pascal be able to use nested class namespaces.

OK. Is there a workaround? Or is it just not possible?

It's not possible.  There simply is no concept of nested classes like this
in Object Pascal.

I'm trying to use CKEditor's dom.walker class (http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/api/CKEDITOR.dom.walker). It returns instances of CKEDITOR.dom.node. I want to get the text of the nodes, which I think requires me to test whether each one is an instance of CKEDITOR.dom.element (http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/api/CKEDITOR.dom.element) before casting to that and calling its getText() function. If I can't do this, I think it will be a show-stopper for me. Can anyone help?

Matthew,

Are you trying to utilise CKEditor within an EWB application? If so, do you merely need to (a) populate the editor and (b) retrieve its content?

Mark

Yes, I am trying to use CKEditor in an EWB application, and any restrictions on how I can use it are likely to persuade me not to use EWB. I know I can get the entire content by calling the editor's getData() function, but I fully expect that I will want finer control than that as development of the application progresses.

Ok. I have successfully integrated CKEditor, from the perspective of instantiation, content population and content retrieval. If you have yet to achieve this then let me know and I'll post the details. Beyond that I can't offer much more help at the moment since this has been sufficient for my application.

Cheers
