Hi, I have a program which is using a custom viewer derived from osgViewer::View. In this custom view's scene may be some custom types derived from osg::Geode. I'll call these MyView and MyGeode for the sake of the post. MyView's are put inside a osgViewer::CompositeViewer. All this works great. Now, I want to send custom events to MyView and MyGeode.
My original hope was that I could just register a handler on MyView and MyGeode and do something like "compositeViewer->accept(new MyEvent)", but it doesn't seem that easy. I ended up creating a "MyCompositeViewer" that has an "accept" function on it that takes MyOsgGaEventVisitor and then create a MyGUIEventHandler which attempts to dynamic_cast osgGA::GUIEventAdapter to MyEventAdapter. MyGUIEventHandler is created with a pointer to its owning MyView and then can make calls into MyView based on the event. I haven't started working on getting the event into MyView's scene and onto MyGeode's yet because this design is challenging my sanity. This approach works, but seems like a mess. Before I get too far down this rabbit hole, what is the RIGHT way to get a custom event sent from a top-level CompositeViewer to its subordinate views and then onto the view's scene nodes? The examples in OSG seem to address parts of this problem, but I can't see a solution to the entire scope of the problem. Another way to phrase the question might be: "How do I create a custom OSG-wide event that can be responded to by all osgViewer::View's and osg::Geode's alike?" Thank you!
