I recommend creating a new class that inherits from the FW class and create a method (with the same name) in that new class that contains the modification needed. This way when a new FW version comes out you won't have to keep modifying the source, you just inherit from the new source and override that one method.
Of course, if that method in the original source is modified in a new version of FW, then you will have to update your new class's method.
This is a standard OOP programming technique. It saves a lot of confusion and extra programming.
I also never want to change the originale code, so that i keep up with all new versions.
Calling a customised function like mr. Rao does is also very nice, but can it be done for every class ?
But the inherits stuff... That's interesting and not into my skills at this time...
James, or someone... Could you do the folowing ?
We have Xbrowse and I want to inherit with a function to customise it.
In the upperleft of xbrowse there should come a Icon with a customisation wheel to click, a menu should apear and 2 options to start with
1. Save Xbrowse settings
2. Load Xbrowse settings
