how to do @Overrides in EDT [message #755553]

In RBD I have a number of widgets that have field called
children widget[];

I could then create a function like
function getChildren() returns (widget [ ]) {@Override {}}
return (things);
end

This @Override allowed for my function to get called rather than the widget children getters and setters.

Override is no longer valid in EDT but EDT does not automatically start using my getChildren or setChildren.

How would I do this now where my widget has children and my getChildren and setChildren is used rather than the widget default?

just to follow-up on why i want to use/overrired children - I want my widget to be usable from the palette such that you can drop it from the palette but also drop into the widget. When you drop into a widget it automatically uses the children attribute to capture the parenting.

Aaron,

I believe the Box widget (Box.egl) is an example of another widget that used to specify @Override for the getChildren() function. The @Override annotation is no longer required in EDT due to the fact that the RUIWidget stereotype now specifies a defaultSuperType of Widget. The overrides in EDT should be automatic.

Can you provide a small example that highlights the problem you are having? Can you step through a test case using Box and your widget to see why Box's getChildren function is being invoked and yours is not?
