Hi all,

Here's some sample code:

http://play.golang.org/p/XhwtJAT_t0

I am trying to explain to someone why MouseDownEvent2 does not satisfy
the MouseEvent interface, but I am struggling to find the right way to
explain it. Can anyone here help?


Thanks,

Ian

    MouseEventData is a struct, thus embedding works for it;
    MouseEventData2 is a "virgin" type, thus no methods are defined for it.

    The type keyword uses the structure of the given type to create a new
    type, it doesn't care about the types methods.
    So, MouseDownEvent2 has no methods because you never declared any for it.
    http://golang.org/ref/spec#Types

    Embedding creates methods on the embedding type that delegate to
    methods of the embedded field.
    So, MouseDownEvent satisfies MouseEvent because it has the required methods

    Thanks Jesse and Tamás. I think the key part is that new types have an
    empty
