More Tour. As you can
More Tour. Events happen from all sorts of things. At the workstation, client-type events are raised: navigation, space members arriving, chat, a timer (which you can stop and restart), windows opening and closing, by instant messages arriving or being sent, roles changing, and a few others. The bot watches all the tools in the space and triggers events appropriately (documents being added, deleted, modified; and so on). The script can also trigger custom events. Then each user (workstation and bot) shares their events across the network, so effectively the event model is seamlessly location-independent. There's a latency in the network, of course; that's sometimes quite important (as we'll see later on). In the raw application, stage names are not coordinated between actors. The tour implements a "stage follower", though, since coding gets a lot easier if you can track stages automatically by default; the code looks like this: <t:Action Trigger="PropertyChanged" Param1="CurrentStageUser"> This is only the default. On the client, very often "handler" stages are triggered by modeless situations (such as dialogs opening), where the bot really doesn't care. Thus: <t:Stage Name="*"> |
