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).
I hope you can offer an example at some point. This is a very
important issue in best practice with REALbasic.
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.
I don't think this was rude. You were discussing a feature request,
and I offered my opinion on it. I didn't say anything to impugn you
or your motives or abilities or anything of the sort. I'm sorry that
you feel this way; it certainly wasn't my intention to offend.
