property-starter-code

Arguments: object name

A function that takes an object and an event-handler property name and returns information for constructing an initial skeleton version of a function definition to be used for that event handler. Two values are returned, (1) the argument list for the definition, and (2) a string representing the body of the definition. The string excludes the first line of the definition containing the name of the method and the parameter list.

This skeleton code is generated in an editor when the user selects extended editing in the inspector for an event-handler property whose value is not yet a user function name.

If new event-handler properties are created to extend the IDE, then the starter code cannot be specified in a defproperties or defcomponent expression. Instead, one or more property-starter-code methods should be written for the new property.
