%GetComponentByID Compile Error
Hello,
I have a class I'm working on that is extending a base class that contains the %GetComponentByID method and a section of the new code I'm writing uses %GetComponentByID but when I attempt to compile the class I'm getting an error that says the method doesn't exist.
Am I missing something to be able to include the GetComponent method in an extended class?

Do you want to call %GetComponentByID of a parent class?
You can do it like this:
set result = ##super(args...)You see, when I try to call it with ##super I get "method does not exist in any super class"
The line that's giving me trouble is:
Set tCombobox=..%GetComponentById(pComboName)
I'm basically trying to pass a class parameter into the GetComponent so it can be used in a variable.
The parent class uses the GetComponentById without an issue so I can't figure out why I'm getting the "not present in class" error.
%GetComponentById and GetComponentById are different methods.
Yes, that was a typo on my part. %GetComponentById is being used in the parent class.
Share a code sample please?
One other thing: both methods should be either methods or classmethods.
Set tCombobox=..%GetComponentById(pComboName) Set tCombobox.valueList=%session.Data("Codes") Set tCombobox.displayList=%session.Data("Display")
This is part of an instance method.
The exact error is: Method or Property '%GetComponentById' does not exist in this class.
What happens if you use %page.%GetComponentById?
