Re: What is the name of the table being checked in a Luabind object __index function?

Sorry for not replying. It didn't register as being replied for some reason.

I'll paste another question I asked:
I have an unusual situation. I have an object in C++ that is given many many
values in C++. I can grab this object and get its Lua equivalent:
// C++
m_LuaSelf = luabind::call_function<luabind::object>( L, "GetLuaSelf", this
);

-- Lua
function GetLuaSelf( cSelf )
return cSelf -- returns a lua object with all of the C++ data still in it
end

I want to make it so I can create a Lua object that inherits all of the
values associated with that C++ object. I made it so I pass the object to
another class but it can't use the syntactical sugar of ":", making it feel
very unnatural:

// C++
luabind::call_member<void>( m_LuaSelf, "Setup" );

-- Lua
function TheC++Class:Setup()
......... -- gets the other lua class name, which I'll class "MyTestClass"
 _G[ self.luaClassName ][ 'Setup' ]( self )
end

function MyTestClass:Setup()
-- it reaches this point

-- how can functions in this class be called using the ':' (colon) instead
'.' (period) e.g.
--self:bar() instead of
 --MyTestClass.bar( self ) -- the only way I've found
end





I have no idea if my approach is completely wrong. Apologies if it is :S Any
ideas on how I might go aout accessing the "self" functions of the derived
class using the ':'?

Thanks
