Hi,

In C/S environment, is it possible to send some custom messages with a values to all current active sessions?  Something like this:

const //Define all custom messages.
     MSG_ReloadUserProfile               : Integer = 1;
     MSG_ReloadApplicationSettings : Integer = 2;
     MSG_AboutToRepaireDB             : Integer = 3;
..................................................................
..................................................................

//Send a message with "User1" as a value.
SendToAllSessions(MSG_ReloadUserProfile,'User1');


In the above example one session will need to send a message to a certain user to reload his profile because it has being changed.  Therefore, all sessions will get the message with the value and all of them will ignore the message except "User1" whom will reload his profile while the application is running.

Unless I missed an announcement I think that's on Tim's wishlist.

That's my understanding as well - coming soon (or maybe even in v3. I
recall Tim saying there were some architectural aspects he'd have to
change but might be just my memory failing).

Meanwhile you need to use some other method - assuming everybody is on
the LAN you can do a broadcast/multicast.

Alternatively you can have an app background thread polling a "message"
table and then post the message normally within the app to main thread
or wherever you need it.

Roy,
Raul,

I think I will wait for Tim.  It is not a top priority for me now.

Thanks...

Tim,

I know you are busy doing more important things than this feature.  But do you have a date for this?

The two "interim" features that I'll be working on between now and EDB 3 are
the messaging and allowing the EDB engine to act as Unicode or ANSI.  I do
not, however, have any dates.

If you have any other questions, please let me know.
