Nice to have - Control Sets

PaulS

It would be nice if we could have Control Sets in Objo.

For example
When there are a couple of buttons (OK, Cancel, Apply, Test, ...) the Pressed event has be programmed in every button separately.
When it is possible to combine these buttons as a Control Set there is only 1 Pressed event.
The Pressed action of every single button can be programmed based on the index of the Control Set.

Crossed my mind too. I never saw this except in Xojo. Very handy when implementing arrays of clickable objects/controls.

Thanks both. I’ve accepted this idea for future work.

The goal will be to let related controls share a single event handler while still allowing the handler to identify which control raised the event. The precise design may differ from Xojo’s Control Sets, but it should provide the same core benefit without duplicated event code.

Tracked here: Designer controls can share a single event handler
