Event registration in class initializer

[wriedmann]

Hi Robert,
this code is valid (and I'm using it frequently):

Code: Select all

oMenuItem := MenuItem{}{ Header := "Exit", Command := ExitCommand}

but unfortunately this code does not compiles:

Code: Select all

oMenuItem := MenuItem{}{ Header := "Exit", Click += FileExit }

It gives several error messages, like

Code: Select all

error XS1922: Cannot initialize type 'System.Windows.Controls.MenuItem' with a collection initializer because it does not implement 'System.Collections.IEnumerable'

Could it be possible to make this also work, please?
Thank you very much!
Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang,

Unfortunately this is not supported in c# either (which X# uses as a backend):

Hi Chris,
thank you very much!

P.S. maybe you could have a look to the code completion for the events in XIDE as it seems to support only the long form and not the short form

[Chris]

Hi Wolfgang,

Agreed. Guess support (auto completion) for the old form should be completely removed, right?

Hi Chris,
sorry for answering late, but currently I'm on holiday.
Yes, I think removing the old form would be the best option. I cannot immagine someone that prefers the old form over the new one.
