Custom Controls using Private External Methods vs. Global/Protected

[Scott_C]

@Greg_O

I do everything using Declares. I find it easier if all of the definitions of the things I’m using are right there in the method I’m using and there’s no external dependencies beyond the classes themselves.

Yes, I noticed. Your excellent macOS Toolbar for Xojo is a great piece of work, as well as a learning experience. In part, looking over your code is what sent me down the road that led to posting my question. @Martin_T’s StackView project is built similarly, except with more External Methods.

@Greg_O

but calling a Xojo method does have some overhead, however small, that can add up over time.

@Greg_O, just to be clear, are you saying that using a series of Declares within a Method or Event has potentially less overhead, than calling the equivalent number of External Methods?
