Squeak5.1
latest update: #16551
Current Change Set: Example
Image format 68021 (64 bit)

I am studying class #Object.
The class comments identify two Class Variables:
DependentsFields an IdentityDictionary
EventsFields an IdentityDictionary

but the class definition only defines DependentsFields.

What am I missing here?

Thanks,

Hi. It looks like this comment is out of date for a while now. There is
no EventsFields as you noted - the event handling mechanism migrated to the
EventManager class quite a while ago. This comment should definitely be
fixed (and will be shortly).

If you wish to follow this further, the method Object>>actionMap is how the
appropriate EventManager instance is found. Further, the related methods
are in the *System-Object Events-accessing method category (and
sub-categories).

Thanks,
cbc
