Thanks Craig, I was particularly asking if there was any 'advantage/disadvantage' in using
dispatch myHandler with myVar over just using myHandler The dictionary defines its advantages for use with behaviours and that it returns in the 'it' variable if the message was handled or not - useful even when not used with behaviours in some cases I could imagine. However, I wondered if anyone else had already done the experimentation as to the dis/advantages of the above. Just making use of the community :) Sean On Wed, 3 Aug 2022 at 15:30, Craig Newman via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Hi. > > “Send” and “Dispatch” do much the same thing, but they do differ in how > they interact with the message patch.
