Re: Sender of send in time
Unfortunately it's the sendee. The object receiving the message.

Re: Sender of send in time
I wonder if the target would return the sender or the sender. I'll check it out.

I don't believe the LC engine maintains awareness of the sender of timers. If it does, I don't know of a way that's exposed to scripters. Where timers are used sparingly, it may be practical as a workaround to search for those instances and add a param to sent messages to track that. Alternatively, when using "send...in " then "the result" will contain the ID of the newly created timer. You could use that as the key in an array which stores any info you need about the caller, being mindful of course to clear entries as they fire so the array doesn't grow beyond reasonable bounds. May also be useful to submit an enhancement request for that info, though I have no suggestions as to how this should be handled, except perhaps by adding a new item to the pendingMessages entry which would contain the long id of the sender, if that's sufficient. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ambassa...@fourthworld.comhttp://www.FourthWorld.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: Sender of send in time
Hi Craig. No, because send in time allows for messages sent prior to complete execution, so whatever send in time is no longer executing.

Hi. Would the "executionContexts" be of use here?

Re: Sender of send in time
Nevermind I found it. But it's a good question. I had to search for "send selectionChanged" and breakpoint each statement until I hit on the correct one.

Sender of send in time
Hi all. I have a sticky problem here, or I should say a slippery one. Something in my scripts is sending a selectionChanged message in time to a specific datagrid when it shouldn't. How do I determine the sender of a send in time message? The pendingMessages and executionContexts are cleared by that time.
