Hi Doriano,

THANKS A LOT !!
I didn't figure that out by myself - how stupid of me. So basically a target
for event does not have to exist. Somehow I had a fixation that Gambas
should complain...

But I am just a beginner with Gambas.
And this object-oriented event raising stuff combined with observers and
watchers and object.attach object.detach is a quite bit to learn. Especially
when there is not enough examples.

I am considering hiring me a tutor ... any idea how much that would cost :-)

Thanks again.

Best Regards
