Hi 

I am very interested in using the customizing facilities
provided by the eieio package. But !

I defined a class whose only slot is a list which will be
filled with objects. So the custom type I found the most
appropriated was (repeat object).

ex : (defclass test () ((list :custom (repeat object))))

Objects are very simple objects in order to test the
mechanism. When an object is created and customized with
eieio-customize-object everything goes well : it displays
correctly as would display any editable-list. It means with the
ins and del button for each itm. But when trying to click the
ins button an error occurs ! 

"No create method specified"

This error comes from the  eieio-object-value-create
method. Indeed this method tries to retrieve  :objecttype) or
or :objectcreatefcn attribute from the newly created child
widget. But method widget-editable-list-entry-create in the
wid-edit library does not set any of this attributes. 

So what does this mean ? Can't we use the repat type without
any slight modification ? Do we have to define a slightly
modified type to handle this creation problem ?

Once more, if there is something to implement I can try to do
it but I only want to be sure that it is not something that I
misunderstood !

Hi Eric,

Sorry but it took a while before I wrote the pieces of code
concerning slot inheritance. Inbetween I start to use ede and I
am very happy with it now ! 

First I think that I am not allowed to commit my changes to the
cvs repository for the eieio project. Hence I simply join the
modified eieio.el file. 

Modifications are between line 733 and 776. 

I ran the tests and they passed. Moreover I going to use
intensively the eieio package, hence if there is a bug
somewhere in the code I wrote, I'll certainly discover it soon
! 

Regards 

Pierre
