Form Template Inheritance

Classic Servoy
1

1.create form aaa that extends form bbb (that contains methods, form variables, etc… to be used by in form aaa)
2.save form aaa as form template bbb
3.create form ccc using form template bbb
4.I expected form ccc to inherit Properties definitions of form aaa (which is done correctly)
5.I expected Events definitions such as onLoad, onRecordSelection, etc… to be inherited as well but these are not.

Is this a bug or an intentional feature?

ylockson,

A form template only saves the form properties and event handler names.
The code of the event handlers is not copied (no code duplication)

When you apply a template to a form template (via DnD from palette or in new-form-wizard), the event handlers from the template are matched on against existing methods (based on method name)

Hope this helps,
Rob
