Description maverick192 2005-07-13 09:09:58 UTC 
The code generated by the gui builder should be separated into one abstract
class with the listener functions as abstract methods. The users code should
then be a subclass. If you do not like inheritance in that way composition would
be equally appropriate.
There are several advantages in this approach: 1. User code can be modified
within any editor without having to worry to modify the generated comments. 2.
Smaller classes (clearer code / easier to modify) 3. Reusability of generated code
