Hello everybody, So far, I like the current .NET implementation from Microsoft. However, I have noticed some problems that make me think the people at Microsoft haven't really moved to a modern way of doing this programming stuff we're all in. What's my problem, you'll say... Well, the other day I was working with the ToolBar control from the Windows Forms namespace. All cool, create an image list, create buttons and so on... When I double-click a button in the forms designer, I notice that the event handler is named myToolBar_OnClick; I click another button and I get to the same handler. To make the long story short: I wonder why the ToolBarButton class doesn't raise a Click event of its own. The MSDN docs say "create a switch structure and identify the button that was clicked". It looks to me like the people at Microsoft haven't got rid of the WndProc idiom (or I may be totally wrong, who knows?). Unfortunately, this makes me think .NET isn't (yet) the component oriented platform everyone's been waiting for. What do you think about it? Best regards, Ovidiu Platon.
