[Lazarus] Gtk2 question

[SteveG]

I am making this a separate thread, because it got nothing to do with 
the old subject "[Lazarus] CodeTools: what is an "identifier""

The idea discussed there, fails due to the fact that 
"ObjectOfClass_BaseFoo.SomeMethod" can only be resolved to that base 
class's SomeMethod.

One case where this is annoying is:

procedure TSpecialFoo.OtherMethod;
begin
   BaseOnlyMethod();
end;

procedure TBaseFoo.OtherMethod;
begin
   SomeMethod();
end;

And SomeMethod exists in both => base and specialised class.

You (the human reader) knows you started in TSpecialFoo => but codetool 
doesn't know.

Yet codetool  could know.

Codetool could remeber when a "implementation jump happens:
- FROM which class (and even method) it started (if it comes from a 
method in a class)
- TO which method

If there:
- was no editing (not even a requirement)
- the next jump starts from within the last "TO"
then the chain is continued

The whole chain needs to be kept => since it go through more than one 
method in the base class


Just an idea. (one of many)....
May yet need some fine tuning
