Event declarations and firing Events

[Charles]

I fixed the bug you reported above about the argless "init" not being found if "init" was overloaded.

I think Cobra should also allow an event decl in a single line like so:

class Button

    event click(sender as Object, args as MyEventArgs)

    # instead of:
    sig ClickHandler(sender as Object, args as MyEventArgs)
    event click as ClickHandler

And the "listen" statement should accept a method with more narrow arguments such as "sender as Button" instead of "sender as Object".

Both these ideas come straight out of Visual Basic. Their merit is convenience.

A further idea for consideration is the "handles" syntax from VB.

Agree about the added convenience of the merged event+sig syntax.

The narrowed 'listen' args seems to already work providing the sig is in sync.
(is that what you mean - allowing the sig params to be more generic than (assignable from) the actual handler params ?

No opinion on the VB-like 'handles' syntax
