Fire Event

[DanM]

Here's my scenario:

App 1 launches App 2
App 2 launches App 3
App 3 fires an event so App 2 can fire an event and shut down
App 1 has Listeners for App 2 and App 3 since it also launches App 3 under certain conditions..
Both listeners are triggering which inadvertently shuts down App 1......

I need to "unfire" the event for App 3 as part of the shut down of App 2.....Or be able to conditionally turn off the listener.

How's that for a mouthful.......

Any ideas???

Thx

Dan

Not sure I understand the sequence of events entirely but could you set a feature name against your "conditional" listener and set the feature on/off accordingly?

[DanM]

that was my thought.....but that would mean a couple calls to button programs before and after the launch of App 2....any chance features can be enable/disabled from with NAB rather than on the backend? I'd prefer not to have the extra overhead....

I will add a feature request to see if we can enable/disable features directly in behaviors. You could execute a script that can disable/enable features right now and below is the code example

/**
 * sync features takes two parameters
 *  - first parameter is an array of features you want to disable
 *  - second parameter is an array of features you want to enable
 */

// disable the feature called 'callacme'
//
Valence.query.util.Helper.syncFeatures(['callacme'], []);

// enable the feature called 'callacme'
//
Valence.query.util.Helper.syncFeatures([], ['callacme']);

Hi.... i'm testing via a button call.... if it does the job i'll try the script....

and thanx for adding to the list.....

just FYI.... for whatever reason, I couldn't get this to work correctly via an RPG call.... I saw no evidence in DevTools that a call was made..... But it worked like a charm via scripting so I'm good for the moment...

Thx

Dan,

In the next 6.1 update you will be able to turn on/off features directly from behaviors via app variables

Thanks
