RE: [pbmserv-dev] Determine if submit mode in PrintBoardAs

["Bob Lafleur" <bob_lafleur@technologist.com>]

Good idea... But it doesn't quite work. I tried making a PrintAs(...) in
my game class, setting the flag if appropriate, calling the
Game::PrintAs(), then resetting the flag. But my game's PrintAs() never
gets called because the Game::PrintAs() is not defined as virtual. I
tried changing my local Game::PrintAs() definition to virtual, and that
resolved it, but unless Richard is willing to change his definition...
Or is there another way I can define my PrintAs() to take precedence
without having Game::PrintAs() defined virtual? Thanks.

You could try overloading Submit() or PrintAs() and do this:

  private_variable = type;     // put the type where the whole object
can see it
  Game::PrintAs(...);          // call the parent function.
  private_variable = 0;        // reset the type
