But for those keeping score at home: no-one has offered an example of class extension, other than the couple of corner cases I cited, where the results are clearer/easier to write/easier to maintain/anything else convincing, using method overriding rather than Events.
Guyren, I can tell you that, despite a deep understanding of events and their advantages, I *do* have the need for method overriding on a fairly regular basis. You can accept this or not; I have neither the time nor the obligation to go dig up a specific example for you (if I were even at liberty to do so, which of course for contract work or code internal to REALbasic itself, I am not).
So for now, my assertion stands: Events are just better. You should use Events basically for all your class extension. Until someone makes a good case otherwise, that makes the feature request that started this discussion not very useful or important.
And this, frankly, is simply rude. Good day to you. -- Joseph J.
