In the case I described the code is in a subclass a Xojo class<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The idea here is to INSERT a new subclass between the existing subclass and the new one. And the newly inserted subclass will expose things in a way the OLD existing code wont break
So we never touch the old code
We just modify the inheritance chain in a way we can then alter how things behave<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So in his case we can add a new subclass of EmailMessage that exposes the Source as a Method pair ( get & set) and then make the existing class inherit from our new class<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And the existing code will then JUST work without ever having had to alter any of it
