Syntax

Obj->[IDLitIMessaging::]DoOnNotify, IdOriginator, IdMessage, Value

Arguments

IdOriginator

A string value identifying the item that is the source of the message. Normally, IdOriginator is the object identifier of the object that calls this method, but it can be any string value.

IdMessage

A string that will uniquely identify the message being sent. The value of IdMessage is determined by the iTool developer; it is used by the OnNotify methods of any observer objects to determine what type of message has been received, and to act accordingly. For example, if a property value has changed, this argument might be set to the string SETPROPERTY.

Value

Any value that is associated with the message being sent. For example, if a SETPROPERTY message was sent, Value might contain the name of the property changed. If no value is associated with the message, set this argument to a null string ('').
