Peter,

 

I experienced this also a while back while working on the XPages Calendar (now defunct). I even posted about it but I can't find the post now, weird. But yes, you need to only edit your event code within the event tab of DDE, otherwise you may encounter some weirdness to say the least.

The reason why the update is not made via "all properties", is because this is not the same thing:

- when add an onclick event via the Events tab, you actually create an <xp:eventHandler> child property for the button, which has an <xp:this.action> tag that contains your code.

- when you edit the onClick event of the button in All Properties, you add an <xp:this.onlick> property to the button

 

have a look at the source code of the XPage to see what I mean. 

 

You can edit the code of the event handler via All Properties, but you need to navigate to the "Event Handler" under the button in the Outline view, and NOT to the button itself. Then, you will see that the "action" property has the right, up-to-date value. 

 

 Agreed... because of this I've started working more in the source rather than the UI. However I think this needs to be more obvious in the UI. There are so many people that have encountered this and had trouble with it, especially those just starting to learn XPages.
