[Gambas-user] Problem with Lock method for DrawingArea class

[John Rose]

I don't understand the above. Quoting from 
https://gambaswiki.org/wiki/doc/object-model#t10:


       >2.3. Locking Objects
       > An object can be locked so that it stops raising events, and can be
       > unlocked so that it raises > them again. See
       > the Object.Lock
      <https://gambaswiki.org/wiki/comp/gb/object/lock> and
      Object.Unlock
      <https://gambaswiki.org/wiki/doc/comp/gb/object/unlock> methods.
       > 2.4. Observers
       > Observers <https://gambaswiki.org/wiki/comp/gb/observer> are
      objects that allow you to intercept events raised by
       > other objects. They > "observe" them.

Since the above (later on in that web page) refers to a Button as an 
Object , I think that a Drawing Area is an object and therefore Lock & 
Unlock should be methods available to it.
Also, the compiler does not object to e.g. DesktopDrawingArea (a 
Drawing  Area) being used with Lock as in DesktopDrawingArea.Lock.

I do try to follow Netiquette (in 
http://gambaswiki.org/wiki/doc/netiquette), so please tell me 
_specifically _where I go wrong.

Regards,
John
