Re: [Pythoncard-users] Passing an event up to the superclass

[Steve F. <sf...@ih...>]

Great, thanks for the tip. That's interesting. Before I discovered
singleItemExpandingSizerLayout() (say that five times fast), I was using
on_size() to adjust the size of StaticBox1 when the window size changed,
but the redraws weren't coming through. Until, that is, I added
event.skip(). So it seems like for proper handling of most general
events (IOW, events not aimed at specific components), calling
event.skip() at the end of the function is a good idea, no?
