[CS5]csxs::event is not being register in PostStartupPlugin()

DeepAlone Aug 31, 2011 5:15 AM

Hi All,

I was looking in FreeGrid Plugin that uses flex for UI.To do so it register the csxs events (for communication b/w flex panel and c++ plug-in) in PostStartupPlugin().

here is the code..

///Start

ASErr FreeGridPlugin::PostStartupPlugin()

{

if(csxs::event::kEventErrorCode_Success == freeGridDialogController->RegisterCSXSEventListeners())

fIsRegistered = true;

return kNoErr;

}

//End

But it is not being registered here.

It also put the same code in handling the

Hi,

This is a bug in this sample - you should try to register your event listeners when you recieve a kAICSXSPlugPlugSetupCompleteNotifier notification, not post startup. You can add a notifier handle and listen out for it in the usual way - FreeGrid actually does this in addition to trying to register on PostStartup.

We've already fixed this for the next release of the SDK - thanks for spotting it!

:-)

My mistake - looks like there isn't a notification for this at all - I would try registering for event listeners as late as you can - it depends what your plugin is doing. Maybe take a look at how FreeGrid and StrokeFilter do it.

I'm in the same boat. Any word on when to register for these listeners? I really need a Notifier that will allow me to do this before the user makes any moves. Strokefilter doesn't provide any answers.

HERE'S A WORKAROUND FOR THE BUG!
It comes from David_a_Clark in another forum:
"Ah, this is a known issue. For CS5 the workaround I used was to start an AI Timer in my plug-in's startup code which went off after '1 tick' (AI SDK terminology, IIRC). After 1 tick, PlugPlug has started up and is available to use.

In the next version of AI SDK I believe there will be a 'PlugPlug set up' notifier which removes the need for the timer workaround."
