Re: [paragui-users] posting messages?

[taurus]

Hello Keith,

so serious problem? Let`s see.
To send a message to a widget or broadcasted I use SendMessage() function
that goes as i remember from PG_MessageObject(?, cannot check the
syntax now). For example, I have a field of map cells and want to
update a widget (indicator) that will show info about selected cell (widget).
What do I do?
1) On cell.eventButtonUp() (from mouse) I send a message by
cell.SendMessage(...).
2) I receive message in indicator.eventMessage(), check it if it`s from
cell and update indicator information.

It`s quite simple and, well, fast.
Write me if you have more questions. Check paragui sources and docs
about functions parameters, sorry, I dont have access to my home
station. BTW, you`ll find nice example in paragui docs (html).
