The definitions of "good" and "better" vary significantly, depending on the context. I was just pointing out that mixing them may create something silly.

The purpose of a commandbutton was to have something in its .click() (or, turned out to be better in some cases, .when()) method. Now it's 18 years since VFP3, and while the commandbutton hasn't changed much (except cosmetically), maybe its purpose may have changed. Or maybe we need a different control, which wouldn't be a commandbutton, but something that would share some of the behavior with it, while doing other things.

Of course, after all these years I'm so used to build my GUI with what I have, and if I need something that does something when clicked, I still use a commandbutton. I simply can't think of something else (perhaps a blue underlined label, behaving like a hyperlink), but I'm curious to see what kinds of controls may come handy. Waiting for a surprise. Not necessarily a ready solution, just an original idea.
