Hi, What you are trying to do is basically exactly what I did for the "moon" module that you can find in cvs. I calculate a moon phase value periodically in my application, and then send it to the moon edje interface, which then displays it to the user. The form in which it displays the phase information is in the shape of a moon image that matches the phase info the interface receives. (I also started sending string information in addition to this as well). They are completely out of date with respect to writing gadgets, but I did some writeups on the moon module a year ago, which also include some bits about the application -> edje messages: http://edevelop.org/node/1795 http://edevelop.org/node/1901 This should probably help you understand the id thing, message types, and how to handle them in the edc. Let me know if you still get stuck :-) David ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
