Which constructor does Designer use?

Postby Christoph Kloppenburg » Tue Oct 09, 2007 11:35 pm

Dear all,

if there are several different constructors for a class, which constructor is parsed by the Designer to show the visual look of the class?
Is it the first constructor or the constructor without parameters or else ... ?

Any hints are welcome

Designer parses all of them. Typically for a GUI class, one constructor will call another.

You can hide a constructor from the parser using code hiding tags...
