Wish Double Click on a view in the Designer

[trepdas]

it would be really cool if a double click on a view will take me straight to the code (if existing or if not or both) just like the vb6 does.



Sub View_Click
[cursor waiting]
End Sub

is there any way to do that?
any extra library?

This isn't something that a library can magically add, it's something that the developer will have to add into the designer code.

Sounds interesting though, but you soon get used to not having that feature...

 

[trepdas]

and still, once getting used to , you start to wonder how come you managed so far without it...(I'm coming from the vb6 platform)

but of course, not critical.

Right click on the view -> Generate -> choose whichever event you like:

@Erel @trepdas is talking about double clicking on a view and then the B4A IDE will popup in front of the designer in the correct activity with a cursor in the correct sub for the view that you just double clicked on. Basically the same thing that happens when you double click on a button in VB.

But you get the default event routine, then you must change it, if you want a different one.

...and the layout is not strictly related to one activity.

I understand. However there is already a very simple way to add events declarations (not limited to a "default" event). B4X isn't a VB clone.

 

[LucaMs]

When you create a vb form you double click on a button and an event is created... where? In the code module OF THAT form.

When you create a b4a layout, you can load this layout where you need, in a panel which can be an item of a customlistview, for example.

I mean... there is a big difference!

I completely agree 100%

I know that, you're saying that to the wrong person

...and the layout is not strictly related to one activity.

I will not say what I said above I'll think of something new to say

Yes that's true, but you should be telling that to @trepdas and not to myself, and you need to watch the usual suspects

I know that you know that but I suppose that other members can read this thread

I will not say what I said above I'll think of something new to say

Is this a tongue twister? I needed it, I barely write in English, but talking is another thing!

 

[trepdas]

Right click on the view -> Generate -> choose whichever event you like:

in the above example , it is good only upon creation (in the first time).
if I repeat and "regenerate" a member which was already declared - then, it would be
nice if the cursor in the IDE will still wait for me in : ...
sub Button1_Click
[here]
End Sub

(I mean even if the sub already exists)


I think that a feature like this will dramatically improve navigating within my code...
