Hello Dimitrios,
 
I was trying to keep my post as generic as possible - which is why I didn't 
post specifics.
 
In this particular instance however, I want to broadcast a Custom Event to a 
DataGrid residing on a Panel Control - to Scroll to the very top, whenever I 
add a new record to an ArrayCollection (residing in the ModelLocater).  This 
can happen ONLY when I add a new record - and this is why I want to create a 
Custom Event for this.  I am pushing for a Custom Event, because I don't think 
there is a built-in Event native to the DataGrid, that I can count on 100% of 
the time, to fire off ONLY when New Records are being added.
 
The catch is, I can't dispatch the Event until I get my onResult response from 
the ColdFusion Server - indicating that the Database Insert was in fact 
successful, and that it's now okay to update the Model's ArrayCollection with 
the new ValueObject.
 
Since the onResult logic resides in a Cairngorm Command Class, this is where I 
need to dispatch the Event from.  Or at least initiate the command to dispatch 
the Event, which can reside in the ModelLocater - and dispatch it from there.
 
Since all of my primary Views containing the Model-bound Controls, have a 
reference to the ModelLocater, I am thinking that there must be a way to 
dispatch these Events from the Model - and have a way for these Views to 
respond accordingly.
 
If you could help me out in this regard, I really would be truly grateful.  My 
application development, has literally come to a screeching HALT, because of me 
not knowing how to handle all these issues.
 
I am tracking down every Event Broadcaster and Listener Tutorial I can get my 
hands on, so that I can learn more about how all this works.  But in all of the 
examples I download and dissect, they ALL have a common View, that centralizes 
the code - in which it's quite easy to tie everything together.
 
In my case, I have Views and Controls scattered all over the place - and they 
can be instantiated (or not be for that matter) at any given moment.  I just 
don't know how to write code to broadcast Events in such a manner, so that each 
component has no prior knowledge of any other component.
 
I hope I'm explaining all this properly...
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Mike

Hello All,

This thread, directly relates to all the other ones I've posted recently
- as I think one of my root problems, is truly understanding on how
Events get propagated within an application.

They say the Event model is so great, due to all the components being so
loosely coupled. So either I am missing something really rudimentary
here, or the Event model doesn't work the way I thought it did.

In every example I've seen, for an Event Listener and Broadcaster setup
to work properly, there must be a common link (like a container) between
the 2 components - and then, there are the 3 key things which must be in
place: The Event Listener, the Broadcaster, and the Function that gets
run whenever the Event gets triggered.

But what about the times, where I won't know for sure beforehand, which
component I will be using at the time? Especially in a Cairngorm
Application, where the Commands (which is where I desperately need to
broadcast my Custom Events from) literally NEVER know where their Result
Events are going to be sent. Of course, this is where the true power of
Cairngorm-based Applications comes into play.

All the Commands do really, is update the ModelLocater with their
updated results - and because of Data Binding, the Components in the
Application show the updated results. For me unfortunately, there is
always much more that needs to be done, after a Result is brought back -
and I need to find a way to tell my Application Components, to perform
their next task (based on a Custom Event, that I broadcast).

Can anybody show me how to Broadcast Events in such a manner, that they
get disseminated "Application-wide"??? This way, I don't need to know
beforehand, which Components will be Receiving the Events.

This is the final thing on my plate that I must figure out, then I can
FINALLY finish my app and find some peace in my life....

Thanks in advance,

Mike
