[Gambas-user] Event in Form Class

[Fabián Flores Vadell]

I been writing a class and I found this problem when a event is raised.
I wrote my class in a form class to take advantage of visual design
(my class just does visual things).

I wrote an event in the form class and when the event is raised the
problem appears: apparently the form self captures the event.

So, when I create an object from this class, I can't catch the event
unless I use Object.Attach:

'Inside the form class "myClass"

Event myEvent

...

Raise myEvent


'Inside a form

Private myObject = myClass

Public Sub _New()
  myObject = New MyClass(Me) AS "myObject"
End

Public myObject_MyEvent()
'Nothing to do here, the event doesn't reach here
End

But if:

Public Sub _New()
  myObject = New MyClass(Me)
  Object.Attach(myObject ,Me, "myObject")
End

Then, the problem is gone.

I think than if I use an Observer this should work too. Anyway, I
think that problem occurs because the form class catchs their own
event (form is their own observer). I think that I could workaround
this by creating a second class (not a form class) and by using the
form class like as one of its members, but seems to me than form class
should have a way to avoid your own observer.

Am I right?
