Re: [Dynapi-Help] Widgets

Hi, <<Do these differences matter and where did they come from? AFAIK they don't matter, I think the superclass ones came from Pascal, the others from Dan/Jordi.   <<esp. the difference between "oncreate" and "onprecreate"? Oncreate was the original listener you could use to set propeties dynamically.Because it took a long time to render complicated widgets to the screen, precreation was introduced. This is basically a buffer that gathers all childlayers, and their settings, and then writes them to the browser in one time. You would normally use onprecreate in new widgets.(although I actually don't use any create listener on simple widgets)   <<Also are the gui components (like the Label) Widgets? Have a look here if you find anything here, although there's not much in the way of (form) gui. http://www.richardinfo.f2s.com/dynapi/php/examples.html   Richard.     ----- Original Message ----- From: ToddNY To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2001 10:00 PM Subject: [Dynapi-Help] Widgets The tutorials on widgets use "superclass" and "onprecreate". They don't seem to work (with 2.54) but the other widgets I can find do seem to work. They use "dynlayer" as the superclass (does this matter?) and they use "oncreate" rather than "onprecreate".   Do these differences matter and where did they come from? esp. the difference between "oncreate" and "onprecreate"?   Also are the gui components (like the Label) Widgets?   Thanks, Todd.
