Hi,
Is there a reason why the "abstract methods" refactoring dialog cannot be
altered to show all virtual methods ?
Well, virtual methods are not abstract anymore, are they?
Then the dialog would need another name.
But beside this obvious reason, I see none.
(maybe through some checkbox in the dialog, possibly a dropdown showing all
parent classes for filtering)
When writing components, a popular method for overriding is Notification from
TComponent.
I consistently find myself looking for its declaration.
Or did I miss some already existing goodie in the IDE (always a possibility) ?
You can select Notification in the completion box. For example:
If your class has not yet a 'protected' section add one.
Then add a new line. Press Ctrl-Space. Type 'no' to select Notification
procedure. Press return. The header is added. Now press Ctrl+Shift+C.
Aha, I was right to ask :)
Thank you. This is more than sufficient for my needs :-)
The only use case for using the dialog is then if you want to override multiple
methods at once.
Which, I think, is justification enough; but you just significantly lowered the
urgency :)
Michael.
