Sometimes it is also helpful if one considers who owns the code or  
control. That way, self always refers to the owner. If the code is in  
an instance, the window owns it. If the code is in a subclass, then  
the class owns it. If the code in a window control needs a method or  
property in the subclass, it must refer to 'me.' to call that code.  
Outside references must also refer to the window's control directly as  
it inherited the method or property from its super. This all depends  
on the scope that the method or property has as well.
It can be confusing until one truly understands how it all works.
