RE: [Dynapi-Widgetdev] Events fire all over the place on subclasses

Richard,

Thanks for the prompt reply! I hope tey pay you well!
Do you think I/we should let someone else know that can fix this?
The problem is a global one affecting any secondary+ subclass, and
needs to be addressed I think, because bypasses and shortcuts
for quick solutions are always available. Who do you think would
be the best person to contact on the matter?

subclasses

hi,
I did some research on this, see:
http://www.richardinfo.f2s.com/dynapi/Deli/

To cut a long story short, this problem happens with lists, scrollpanes, and
pushpanel.
The problem with lists is down to a bug in that widget itself, and only
happens when listening for onselect - use onmouseup instead.

The problem with scrollpanes and pushpanel, comes because these are the only
two widgets at the moment NOT prototyped off a DynLayer, but prototyped off
a viewport in this case.
Obviously our inheritance model isn't working as it should .
If you change scrollpane, so it inherits from DynLayer, and add viewport as
a child, it works as it should, regarding eventlisteners.
What changed since version 2, when I suspect this worked normally, has been
the setting of the IDs, I tried a few things here, but couldn't find the
final solution.
Nice but no cigar, as they say.
Maybe someone more at home with DynAPI's inheritance can help out here.

Richard.
