Not sure what this would be called in gambas but I need to know how to do something like this.
My main clinical form as on its toolbar a columnview containing a list of reminders or recalls due for the patients, so that it is visually available to the user at all times. The actual recalls can be entered from a number of different places in the program - either when the recalls module is loaded, or when patholgy results are read,[ or potentially by another user in another room down the track] ie. The columnview needs to know when it needs to update its information on the basis of what is happening in another part of the program So, I wondered how to set up a 'listener' or a 'notifier' or whatever you might call it. at the moment, I do it in a rather crude way like this. when the clinical form loads, I set as a global variable modglobal.ClinicalForm = Fclinical So, when the recalls module is loaded, accessing the controls to update them is easy modglobal.clinicaForm.cvwRecalls.Add() or whatever. Any comments/suggestions. This is obviously a simplistic scenario, as another user could be in another room or half way across the planet accessing the same patients record!
