[Laszlo-user] Extending a base component

[Dave Miller]

Thanks.

Cary's solution fixed it. You must include the basegridrow

  <include href="base/basegridrow.lzx"/>

Cary, see my latest post here to see the double click in action with  
your fix:

http://forum.openlaszlo.org/showthread.php?p=38708#post38708

This did not fix it:

_rowclass="lz.mygridrow"

I'll file a bug report.

Thanks for the help!

Dave
