B4J Question Can a class module receive events?

[Midimaster]

at the moment I try to create an extented version of ListView in a class SortExpandListView. Therefore I defined a CustomListView in Main as a class internal:

'in main:'
Private clv1 As CustomListView, Listview As SortExpandListView
...
Sub AppStart ()
     MainForm.RootPane.LoadLayout("1") 'Load the layout file.
    Listview.Initialize(clv1)
    
'and in class:'
    Private mCLV As CustomListView
...
Public Sub Initialize (CLV As CustomListView)
    mCLV=CLV
End Sub

At the moment I handle the Events in the MAIN module and forward them to the class:

'in main:'
Listview.Initialize(clv1)
...
Private Sub lblTitle_MouseClicked (EventData As MouseEvent) ' a view in the clv1
    Listview.OpenItem(Sender)
End Sub

'and in class:'
Public Sub OpenItem(lbl As B4XView)
    Dim index As Int=mCLV.GetItemFromView(lbl)
    ...

Now my question is: can I modify the class, so that mCLV directly receives the events?

extented version of ListView

ListView is a different control. You mean CustomListView or CLV or xCLV.

You should move the label to the class and handle its events there.

ListView in this context only means something like a "list view". Only when bold I talk about B4X-Views. My word ListView in the code is also only a variable name. Like you also can talk about buttons (outside in real life) without meaning the Button-View of B4X

Of course I use xCustomListView only!

... You should move the label to the class and handle its events there....

this is axactly what i need to know: How to "move" a label or a loading of a layout into the class. Perhaps somebody points me to the right way or has a code snipplet for me.

It is likely (and desirable) that ListView as a variable name will not be accepted by the compiler.

 

[Midimaster]

Oh! did not know that! It was (looks like being) accepted in my B4J

The easiest way would be to wrap the Customlistview as your own customview if the main purpose is to extend the CLV.
