<a name="libbonobo-bonobo-event-source.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>
An event source object is responsible for channeling the emission
of signals on an object to the appropriate attached listeners.
The API is extremely simple and allows implementations to notify
their listeners of a new event occuring.
</p>
<p>
To notify a listener, you need to construct a textual string,
this is done by the <code class="function">bonobo_event</code> functions
( see <a class="link" href="libbonobo-bonobo-listener.html#BonoboListener"><span class="type">BonoboListener</span></a> ) ':' delimiting the fields. It is reccommended
that the IDL module path of the interface be used as the first
part of the string. This is because many interfaces can be aggregated
together and need to share the same event namespace without conflicts.
So for example the bonobo property bag notification code
uses the IDL path "Bonobo/Property" the "change" kind and sets the
sub-type to the property name:
</p>
<div class="example">
<a name="id-1.4.3.4.3.3"></a><p class="title"><b>Example 9. An example event source notification</b></p>
<div class="example-contents"><pre class="programlisting">
static void
notify_listeners (BonoboPropertyBag *pb,
BonoboProperty *prop,
const BonoboArg *new_value,
CORBA_Environment *opt_ev)
{
if (prop->flags & BONOBO_PROPERTY_NO_LISTENING)
return;
bonobo_event_source_notify_listeners_full (pb->es,
"Bonobo/Property",
"change", prop->name,
new_value, opt_ev);
}
</pre></div>
</div>
<p><br class="example-break">
Of course, you need to notify the listener with a valid
BonoboArg containing the event data, this could easily contain
a structure. eg.
</p>
<div class="example">
<a name="id-1.4.3.4.3.4"></a><p class="title"><b>Example 10. Passing a structure in an event</b></p>
<div class="example-contents">
<pre class="programlisting">
module GNOME {
module Foo {
struct BaaEvent {
double a;
string b;
long c;
};
};
};
</pre>
<pre class="programlisting">
static void
fire_event (BonoboEventSource *on_source,
double a_double,
char *a_string,
long a_float,
CORBA_Environment *opt_ev)
{
CORBA_any any;
GNOME_Foo_BaaEvent e;
e.a = a_double;
e.b = a_string;
e.c = a_float;
any->_type = TC_GNOME_Foo_BaaEvent;
any->_data = &e;
bonobo_event_source_notify_listeners_full (
on_source, "GNOME/Foo", "event", NULL,
&any, opt_ev);
}
</pre>
</div>

<p><br class="example-break">
