Dear all,
I have discovered that an ImmediateMethod is only triggered once for
every object, exactly when the filter given in the implementation of the
ImmediateMethod becomes true for the object, even if the computation
ends without an result (TryNextMethod without second choice). This makes
sense! It is also implicitly stated in the documentation, but not 100%
clear, so I wanted to ask if this is true.
Now, for some features, I need a possibility to trigger a method
(without a return, or a partial immediate one which ends in
TryNextMethod) at every time a filter is set to true for the object and
the method is applicable. Is there a possibility to do this without
installing the same partial immediate method with the filter which can
become true eventually for every filter, so it will be triggered every
time a filter comes true? I really would prefer a global solution, since
I don't want to spam the method selection with a (metric) ton of
ImmediateMethods. But if it is no problem to install many
ImmediateMethods, I think I can life with that solution.
From the solution a second question arises: If an ImmediateMethod is
installed, and is applicable to an object directly, will it be triggered?
Best wishes,
Sebastian
