BBjEnterpriseNamespace::setCallbackForNamespace

Description

In BBj 13.0 and higher, this method sets a callback that will be called whenever any Named/Variable within this BBjEnterpriseNamespace is set.

Syntax

Return Value	Method
void	setCallbackForNamespace(string callbackName)
void	setCallbackForNamespace(UserObject userObj, string methodName)

Parameters

Variable	Description
callbackName	Specifies the name of the callback to be called when the value changes.
methodName	Specifies the method of userObj which is to be called.
userObj	Specifies a UserObject that has a method which is to be called when value is set.

Return Value

None.

Remarks

The callback set using setCallbackForNamespace will be called whenever the value for a variable within the BBjEnterpriseNamespace is set even if the new value is the same as the previous value. This is different from a callback set using the setCallbackForNamespaceChange(), which is only called if the new value is different from the old value.

All callbacks that a program registered on a BBjEnterpriseNamespace are removed when that program executes START, STOP, END, or BEGIN. All callbacks registered by a BBj process are removed when the BBj process terminates.

Example

rem host and authentication information
host$="localhost"
port=2552
user$="admin"
password$="admin123"

sysgui! = bbjapi().openSysGui("X0")
window! = sysgui!.addWindow(200,200,200,100,"Enterprise NS",$02$)

namespace! =
bbjapi().getBBjEnterpriseNamespace(host$,port,"test",user$,password$)

REM set a callback that will be called if *any* value in namespace changes
namespace!.setCallbackForNamespaceChange("someValueChanged")

REM set a callback that will be called if the value changes
namespace!.setCallbackForVariableChange("x","xChanged")

REM set a callback that will be called if *any* value is
REM set (even if the value is not changed)
namespace!.setCallbackForNamespace("someValueSet")

REM set a callback that will be called if the value of x is set
REM (even if the values is not changed)
namespace!.setCallbackForVariable("x","xSet")

window!.setCallback(BBjWindow.ON_CLOSE,"OnClose")
