Description Marcel Maré 2002-06-20 21:28:42 UTC 
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.

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.
