| If you want to callback from your external program into your plugin, can't you use CallPlugin?
Say your external program has a world object somewhere, then doing this could notify your script that something has happened ...
world.CallPlugin "80cc18937a2aca27079567f0", "OnSongChange", "New Song Name" |

| That is sort of the point Nick. The event fired isn't from *my* program. Someone else designed the control I am using and it generates the event. In other words.. Right now I call all of the functions in that control, but not make the script respond to the one event that the control generates. If I had to create a program to handle this event and pass it to CallPlugin, then I would also have to reimpliment my own version of every single function in the control. This is rediculous. It is also not practical to create a new version of some programs and controls that support CallPlugin.
For example, lets say some existing program like an FTP client can be created as an object and fires a "I am finished" type event. What if it is more complex and can fire 20-30 events? Designing my own program or DLL to sit in between and baby sit the events, because the script can't handle them directly could become almost as complicated as writing the original program.
Imho, this is just silly, since scripts can have objects linked to them the same way that you link world events to it. IE does this by letting you register a name with the engine that references the object and the events that it is expected to fire. Unfortunately IE does this by handling the object creation itself and pulling a list of events from the DLL or EXE file's event list. | | Top |
