I used EventSinkImp to create a component based on the event-object.
The component is only very simple, it just has the youhaveamessage
event and name and tag property in the object inspector.
Why a TComponent? Any object would do.
The event is not fired on incoming messages when i create an object
(which is logical since not even a port is opened or whatever).
The other class of which I did succesfully create an communication
object does have an openport, sendmessage,getmessage function. So one
way or the other I have to connect the two.
The event object-class has a connect method:
Connect (const ASource: IUnknown);
I don't know what an IUnkNown is
It's the TObject of interfaces, from which all other ones derive.
It allows having a single Connect method. The receiving object will
check that the interface supplied is of the right type, and only
fire events through it if it is.
Some strong type-checking is lost there, as you've found out.
but if I use the (connected and functioning) communcation object
as a parameter it does compile, it does run but it doesn't fire
events.
Calling a method on the event sink object to connect the source?
Odd. I would have expected the source (the communication object)
to have a method to pass the event sink object('s interface) to.
I know i display utter ignorance here. I don't want to become an
activeX expert.
No, you don't. I know too much about it for my own happiness.
