If an inherited object or control has a script defined only in an ancestor, no script displays in the Script view.
The second drop-down list in the Script view indicates which events have scripts written for an ancestor as follows:
If the event has a script in an ancestor only, the script icon next to the event name in the second drop-down list is displayed in color.
If the event has a script in an ancestor as well as in the object you are working with, the script icon is displayed half in color.
The third drop-down list in the Script view shows the current object followed by each of its ancestors in ascending order. The icons next to object names indicate whether the object has a script for the event selected in the second drop-down list as follows:
If an object is the highest class in the hierarchy to have a script, a transparent script icon displays next to its name. No icon displays next to the names of any of its ancestors.
If an object does not have a script for the event but it has an ancestor that has a script for the event, the script icon next to its name is displayed in color.
If an object has a script for the event, and it has an ancestor that also has a script for the event, the script icon next to its name is displayed half in color.
To view an ancestor script:
In the Script view for an inherited object, select the object itself or a control in the first drop-down list, and the event whose script you want to see in the second drop-down list.
The Script view does not display the script for the ancestor. No script displays.
In the third drop-down list in the Script view, select an ancestor object that has a script for the selected event.
The Script view displays any script defined in the ancestor object.
To climb the inheritance hierarchy, in the third drop-down list, select the script for the grandparent of the current object, great-grandparent, and so on until you display the scripts you want.
The Script view displays the scripts for each of the ancestor objects. You can traverse the entire inheritance hierarchy using the third drop-down list.
