Sounds like you're describing the controller's function in MVC architecture. Usually an event is triggered by some sort of user interaction in hopes of changing the state of the application in some way. If you store the state in some sort of centralized model somewhere, the controller can react to user events, update the model's state properties accordingly, and let any part of the view that is bound to the model update itself on property change. Is that the setup you are running right now? Are you passing data with this event that other components need? HTH, Ryan This message is private and confidential.
