It would be nice if when attaching an event handler to a form in the form editor, it would scan the form source for existing event handlers that fit the required method signature. The list box could be populated with candidates. This would alleviate the manual and errorprone typing of the handler.
Set target milestone to TBD
The problem here is that the combo box that could contain the suitable event handlers methods is already used for something else (lists all event handlers attached to the event). But this could be probably distinguished if entering the first handler. See also issue 33529.
