Event Handler in Laszlo

Define an event, and associate a handler with the event. Both of them should share the same name.

  <event name="AAA">   <handler name="AAA" args="a,b"></handler>

 

<attribute name="AA"..../>   <handler name="onAA" args="a,b"/>

 

3.  Check the existence of the handler

      if (onAA || this['AAA'] ) AAA.sendEvent();

 

Listener/Handler/Event is the basic broadcast mechnanism in Laszlo. A source can have multiple listener/handler.   They are notified peer-to-peer.  

 

Be careful of the loop notification in handler.

 

4. // check the type and value is null or not

 if (typeof this.time == "undefined" || this.time == null) {    //handle first set of time
        this.setAttribute("text", "first click registered");
      } 

if (ontime) this.ontime.sendEvent(); // send event when it is there.

5. In Lzx,event and delegate are defined in term of each other. An delegate is an object that calls a method.

An event is an object which stores the delegate.

6. var del = new lz.Delegate(obj, method-name, eventSender, event-name);

   delegate需要自己先清理一下，防止内存泄漏。
