It is currently not possible to change the visibilty modifiers (private, protected, etc) of event handler methods created by the GUI editor (Matisse?). It would be nice if one could change those modifiers without having to dissociate the source code from a .form file.
Currently not possible, but you can create your own method and call it from the event handler. No need to break the guarded code. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 33529 ***
