\WCSubscribe(SubscriberObj[, CallbackModuleName]) |
| Parameters: |
| SubscriberObj |
| A required object, in which the callback module will be called. Often, Self(). |
| CallbackModuleName |
| An optional text value which is the name of the callback object to be launched into the subscriber object. If invalid or not provided, there must be a submodule in the code, named Notify(), which will be used by WCSubscribe. |
| Comments: |
This function is commonly used in conjunction with ReadConfiguration(). The callback() will be notified when a particular file has changed and will trigger another module to call ReadConfiguration() to read the changes from that file. "ChangedFiles" contains absolute file paths. |
Example:
Init [
If 1 Main;
[
\WCSubscribe(Self(), "ChangeNotification");
ConfigChanged = 1 { Cause initial read of files };
]
]
Main [
If ConfigChanged;
[
ConfigChanged = 0;
\ReadConfiguration("ConfigReader");
]
]
