Path: utzoo!utgpu!watmath!att!ucbvax!agate!shelby!labrea!daemon From: combs@sumex-aim.stanford.edu (Dave Combs) Newsgroups: comp.sys.next Subject: question about display Message-ID: <24028@labrea.Stanford.EDU> Date: 17 Aug 89 19:30:54 GMT Sender: daemon@labrea.Stanford.EDU Lines: 13 Is there some reason that the View methods "display" and "display::" are "equivalent" to calls to "display:::" with preset parameters, rather than ACTUAL calls to this method? I've been having some difficulty trying to implement some dragging routines while still using drawSelf::, and though I replaced display::: (with another method that just prints out a note that it is being called, then calls [super display:::), this method never gets called. Instead, gdb reveals the some system internal routine starting with _display:: is called instead to handle the traversal down the view hierarchy and calls to drawSelf::. Needless to say, this makes customization of my subclass of View rather difficult. Comments, anyone? Dave (combs@sumex-aim.stanford.edu)
