IDLitIMessaging

Superclasses | Creation | Properties | Methods | Version History

The IDLitIMessaging interface class provides a set of methods used to allow an object that implements the interface to send notification messages and to react appropriately when notification messages are received from other iTool component objects. This class also provides methods that allow the iTool developer to notify the iTool user of error conditions via graphical dialogs, to prompt the user for input, and to retrieve a reference to the current iTool object.

IDLitIMessaging objects are not intended to be created as standalone entities; rather, this class should be included as the superclass of another iTool class.

Note
In the iTools system, management of messages is handled by the IDLitVisualization class, of which the IDLitIMessaging class is a superclass. In practice, this means that if you need to override any methods of the IDLitIMessaging class, you will do so in the definition of your visualization class.

This class is written in the IDL language. Its source code can be found in the file idlitimessaging__define.pro in the lib/itools/framework subdirectory of the IDL distribution.
