For existing objects, it's impossible to know how old they are.<br>
For new objects, you can store a creation timestamp. Since this is
very dependent on your actual needs, there is probably no
ready-to-use code, but the functionality is really simple (assuming
you have an instance variable creationTime):<br>
<br>
initialize<br>
super initialize.<br>
creationTime := DateAndTime now.<br>
<br>
age<br>
^DateAndTime now - creationTime<br>
<br>
