beginNotificationForIF(theObj: Object; eventType: Integer; responseType: Integer; eventTag: Integer; theInterface: JadeInterface);
The beginNotificationForIF method of the Object class is a variation of the beginNotification method. The beginNotificationForIF method allows notification events to be sent to the userNotification and sysNotification methods mapped to the theInterface parameter when a nominated event occurs on instances of an object, rather than to those of the subscriber.
The subscriber must be an instance of a
The parameters specified in the method signatures must match the standard userNotification or sysNotification method, as follows.
sysNotification(eventType: Integer; theObject: Object; eventTag: Integer); userNotification(eventType: Integer; theObject: Object; eventTag: Integer; userInfo: Any);
If the method signature does not match the standard userNotification or sysNotification method, an exception is raised when the beginNotificationForIF method is executed.
The request for a notification registered by the beginNotificationForIF method is terminated by the endNotificationForIF method. You can also use the endNotificationForSubscriber method to terminate all previous notifications for a specified subscriber.
The beginNotificationForIF method parameters are summarized in the following table.
Parameter | Specifies … |
---|---|
theObj | The object for which the notification is to be invoked |
eventType | The type of event for which the notification is requested |
responseType | The frequency with which an event notification is sent |
eventTag | An integer value used to identify a notification subscription that will be passed back to the notification method |
theInterface | The interface implemented by the specified object |
With the exception of the theInterface parameter, described in the following subsection, for details about the other parameters, see the appropriate subsections of the beginNotification method.
