Inherited method question

Classic Servoy

Hi,
I have a form wich is based on another form and one of the things it inherits is the onShow method. The thing is that in addition to executing the inherited onShow method i want it to do something else. How can i do this?

Thanks

You can call methods from the super-form explicitely via the _super keyword:

function myOnShow(firstShow, event) {
	return _super.myOnShow(firstShow, event)
	// add extra code here for onshow in the subform
}

When you have have Servoy create a form method for an event in the subform and give it a name that exists in (one of the) super-forms, this code is generated for you.

Hope this helps,

Rob

rgansevles:

function myOnShow(firstShow, event) {

return _super.myOnShow(firstShow, event)
// add extra code here for onshow in the subform

}

_super is the keyword to use, yes, but actually Rob, if you add anything extra where you said to add, nothing will really execute ;-)
