2380.0. "IMPM Very busy !!! But with what ???" by UTES09::GOES (Paul Goes - T&N Digital Utrecht) Thu Feb 20 1992 13:04

Hi,

I have an entity structure (part of) that looks like the following:

			ALARM_CLASS (has variants)
			     |
			   ALARM    (doesn't have variants)

The IMPM displays the following:

	[ALARM_CLASS ...]
		[ALARM_CLASS 4]
		[ALARM_CLASS 3]
		[ALARM_CLASS 2]
		[ALARM_CLASS 1]
		[ALARM_CLASS 0]

When I double click into the ALARM_CLASS 0 entity instance it appears that
the IMPM calls the following entry-points in my AM :

	calls SHOW ALARM_CLASS 0 ALL CHAR

			[ now displays message "looking into ALARM_CLASS 0" ]

	calls SHOW ALARM_CLASS 0 ALL CHAR
	calls SHOW ALARM_CLASS 0 ALL CHAR

The the IMPM displays the following:

	[ALARM...]

When I double click into ALARM ... entity class it appears that the IMPM calls
the following entry-points in my AM:

			[ now displays message "looking into ALARM ..." ]

	calls SHOW ALARM * ALL IDENT

My question is: why does the IMPM issue the SHOW ALARM_CLASS 0 ALL CHAR 
directive three times ? 

Ok, when it displays [ALARM...] the Operations menu is still valid for the
ALARM_CLASS 0 entity instance so it has to find the contents of the 
Operations menu because this depends on the variant. So one call of the
SHOW ALARM_CLASS 0 ALL CHAR directive is explained, but the other two ??
Why is the directive issued before the IMPM displays the "looking into" 
message ???

Is this not a little overdue ?


Regards, Paul Goes

    The iconic map uses the Gobe widget.  The doubleclick actually is two 
    single clicks and gobe checks to see if the x,y coords are the same.  
    If so, it calls the doubleclick callback.   
    
    A side effect of this is that the single click callback is invoked 
    for each click before gobe knows that the user really meant to double
    click.  This could be optimized but noone has noticed a problem with
    performance so we focused on other areas.
