There is one system. Events from Crystal Space propagate into AWS2 much the
same way that they always have. The manager in AWS2 discerns whether it's a
mouse event or keyboard event, and delivers various events depending on whath
as happened.
For all widgets in AWS2, events are delivered much the same as they were in
AWS: onXXXX events.
Each widget can create member functions with names like "onMouseClick",
"onActivate", etc. These functions get called when the AWS2 manager receives
user input triggering them.
A USER-DEFINED event is very similar. You create an object via iAws2 in native
code. That object is implicitly provided with a function called "onEvent".
When you wish to trigger the user-defined notification event you simply call
object_name.onEvent(<args>).
This is setup so that you can create "wrapper" functions in the script that can
be used as event sinks. So, take the example of a button.
<widget type="Button">
<setup>widget.Resize(10,0);</setup>
<event name="onDrawContent" action="buttonDrawText('Pause')" />
<event name="onMouseClick" action="particleFountain.Stop;" />
</widget>
Where particleFountain.Stop is defined as:
particleFountain.Stop = function()
{
var stopCmd = 0;
particleFountain.onEvent(stopCmd);
}
-------
Thus, when the button receives an "onMouseClick" event, the
"particleFountain.Stop" method is called, which in turns calls
particleFountain.onEvent(command), which is reflected back to the native code
event handler that you registered on creation of "particleFountain."
