Carey,
Result! My test code is working now using the PEFORM-ACTION-SEND-EVENT.
Here's my working test code. Many thanks to you and Axton for the DVPFW
project http://arswiki.org/wiki/Data_Visualization_Plugins
Thanks,
Graham

Subject: Re: Data Visualisation Event Handling using
PERFORM-ACTION-SEND-EVENT
Graham,
I have some of my own sample code working... and I must confess that
the model is still a bit confusing to me.So this is just a first read
over your code... testing should be done...
I think your problem is that you have an event handler set up for
"MidEvent" and you passing an event called "MYTESTEVENT".
Try sending PERFORM-ACTION-SEND-EVENT F536870916 MidEvent "$message$"
See if that shows up in your logs. If it does then you need to add an
event handler for "MYTESTEVENT" so that the browser knows what to do
with that JavaScript call.
Hope That Helps(HTH)
