Problem deleting an event handler

[TEMP USER]

i think i've found a bug:
when choosing to show all of the events of a canvas , and deleting there an event handler, it doesn't really delete the event handler (not the function and not the adding of it to the canvas. it actually doesn't do anything other than not showing it in the design mode anymore.
any idea why it happens?

It wanted you to expand the event category and delete the individual event handlers.

To delete any entire category at once, update to the latest SWT Designer 7.3 build.

now it's fixed.
sadly, it doesn't ask what to do when i choose to delete . i mean, i was expecting something like :
delete event handler ?
"only reference to it", "no", "both reference and the event handler itself "

The point of the delete command when applied to an event handler is to delete the event handler. The references also need to be deleted so that the code continues to compile. I don't see much need for separating the two and making the UI more complex...especially since it has worked this way for many years.

Keep in mind that if you want to do something special or perform some refactoring of some sort, you always have the Source view available.

the logic of what i wrote is that if several GUI components have the same event handler, only the desired reference will be removed if needed.

If a listener is used in more than one place, the tool will now ask whether you want to delete all of the references or not.

do you mean you've updated the window builder to have this feature?
cool! thanks!

Yes.
