I make some
changes to existing widgets. Some changes are simple, added
attributes. Some
are wholesale behavioral changes. For the former, I
typically override the
existing widget code. For the latter, I subclass and
create my own
widget.
Two questions:
1. Does VW 7.4 allow for adding a single
attribute to a widget without
overriding? By this I mean, if I want to add
an attribute to Combo Box, I
currently change
UILookPolicy>>comboBox:into:, ComboBoxSpec
class>>basicEditSpec
and perhaps one or two other items.
2. Will this be easier to do in
Pollock?
I realize that if I were to build a CustomComboBox and all the
attendant
classes then I would not be overriding anything. Perhaps I'm
being lazy. By
the same token, I wonder if maybe I'm missing
something.
