I've got a bunch of GenValue sliders, and I'm trying to catch the
GEN_VALUE_STATUS_MSG message, but it won't let me put it under the process
class. It says "process classes cannot have relocation methods." What should
I do then, put the message under the Primary class and have the object send
the message to itself? I had it sending it to the process class as that's
what the hello sample did.
Also, being that I have 8 sliders, how can I find out which one generated
the message? Compare oself with each @Object until I get a match?
The manuals are confusing...it takes forever to figure things out, and I
couldn't figure this out...
Oh yeah, one last question, this time about swat. When I tried going through
the tutorial, it said swat should do one thing but it did another. For
example, it said that after swat contacted the other PC, it would halt it
and give me a prompt before starting GEOS on the other PC. It said PC Halted
on my screen, but it immediately went to Continuing without giving me a
prompt, which the tutorial said it should. When I tried leaving the mouse
over the middle of the window and typed the command to get info on the
object, it didn't give me nearly all the information the tutorial said it
should. Also, when I used @1 to reference an object (I forget the commands
right now) it wouldn't work right. It would immediately ask me if I wanted
to abort. If I said n it would just give me another prompt.
