Hi,

I’d like to add a call to an object FXShutterItem.button without loose
its old behavior:
myFXShutterItem.button.connect(SEL_COMMAND) { puts “Yeps!” }
but I want the FXShutter receive the message too.

How should I do this ?

The standard order of events is:

  1. The shutter item’s button sends a SEL_COMMAND message
    to the shutter;

  2. The shutter opens the correct shutter item;

  3. The shutter sends a SEL_COMMAND message to its (the
    shutter’s) message target.

So if you’re just wanting to be notified when the user clicks on a
particular shutter item to open it you should just catch the SEL_COMMAND
message from the shutter directly, i.e.

 shutter = FXShutter.new(...)
 shutter.connect(SEL_COMMAND) do |sender, sel, which|
   puts "just opened shutter item no. #{which}"
 end

Hope this helps,

Lyle
