Question about events....

 [1/2] from: javier::aviles::eds::com at: 12-Jun-2001 15:22


based in the description of the engage function: The engage function is called whenever any event other than a REDRAW or an OVER occurs for a face. It handles mouse click events, keyboard input, timers, and other types of events. I would like to know, if it's possible to handle diferents events in the same face, and if that is possible an example for it.... I want that a text-list be updated each 30 seconds, and also when the down action ocurrs a process be executed.... any idea? thanks for your help.... Javier H. Avilés Avila.

See below for a program that catches 'time events and all 'down events in all sub-faces of a text-list.

I haven't discovered how to see which face was clicked on yet. Maybe someone can help here (if it is necessary for you to know which sub-face was clicked 'down on).
