3.1 message

With this resource objects can be defined which can be used for the definition of external events. These events can be used in the Rule Language for instance with the built-in function sendevent().

The resource message is also used with the OLE interface of ISA Dialog Manager; please see chapter “The message Resource” of manual “OLE Interface” (definition and usage with the OLE interface).

Definition

{ export | reexport } message  <Identifier> { (<messageSpec>) };

Note

The argument messageSpec is not evaluated in the Rule Language when the message resource is utilized for the definition of an external event.

More information on the argument messageSpec can be found in chapter “The message Resource” of manual “OLE Interface”.

Example 

message EvInformation;

on dialog start
{
  ...
  sendevent(WnMain, EvInformation, “Dialogstart”);
}

window WnMain
{
  ...
  on extevent EvInformation (string Info)
  { ... }
}
