-
- The program 'dispatch.cpp' illustrates Borland's dispatch by value feature.
- The code is similar to that found in ..\owl\source\windobj.cpp but has
- been stripped down to essential details. Borland describes the use
- of this feature in the "Object Windows - Programmers' Guide" pp. 16-21.
-
- Unfortunately Borland only documented the RECEIVING side of the dispatch
- but neglected to discuss the sending side. The code supporting the SEND of
- a dynamic value dispatch can be found in "windobj.cpp". See lines 494ff
- or search for "DispatchAMessage" The code is complex and may be difficult
- to interpret.
-
- This program "dispatch.cpp" is very simple and should pose no difficulty.
