Description gatgul 2005-04-06 15:59:56 UTC

at one time you enable property events for a corm component. you write code for
that event. 
Sometime later you want to disable the event, but not erase the user written
code for tha event. Older versions asked you if you want to keep, or erase the
user code written under the event. Netbeans 3.6 does not, and erases all user
code in the event. 
Bad News, as i now have missing pieces of code i have to now fetch from backup!

We may show a warning message. But note you can still perform undo in form editor.

I would suggest having an option for this.
1. Remove (As of today)
2. Keep (For people coming from other IDEs, it works this way on every other RAD IDE I've used (Delphi/
Kylix, Visual Basic, REALBasic).
3. Ask (As suggested in the mailing list)

I wouldn't even consider too much work for such an option but its value from people coming from other 
IDEs -- priceless.
