help with the dodefault() function

[dawg]

I have a program at my shop, not written by myself that I am trying to modify. They are using the dodefault() function to execute an event that paints the screen with information. I have went to help to find out about this function and found some good stuff. I then ran the
aclass() function to found out the parents of this class object. I looked and found them, but neither one have the event (a home made one) that the dodefault() is executed in. Any ideas??

Thanks,

HI
DODEFAULT() is the code put in any event to do any default behaviour or to execute the code put in its parent class.
It could be.. a parent class which again inherits the code put in its parent class.. so on..

At times, the dodefault() is put in a form using a parent class.. even though there may be no code in the parent class... obvious reason is that in future if any code is added in the parent class, the child will inherit that. Otherwise, since some code is added in the child, subsequent parent coding will not have the effect in the child. SO as practice, I always put dodefault in any event to take care of the future.

Hope this helps you to understand ramani :-9
