What is the > "preferred" way to do this? because that class encapsulates the workflow needed to get this done, so users dont have to reinvent the wheel. its there for you to use optionally...if you want. there is really no preferred way to use it because the usecase space for this is huge across all applications. i dont really see anything wrong with rolling your own form subclass, any ide can do a search and replace for you. what next? someone wants their textfields not to trim input globally, so we have to provide a hook for that? > I *know* there are a million ways to do this, but that shouldn't stop > a framework from having good default behavior. good, so you can see where im coming from when i say what you suggest is not a good default. anyways, feel free to start a vote on this, because i fear this is a kind of thread that can get pretty long without getting anything accomplished... -igor > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
