Marielle- ... Not strictly true at all. I have an xml-tree component where I pass it data by "set the DisplayXMLData of field xyz to myData", where myData is...

... Umm, I do. The text quoted above was from a post from Ken <http:// groups.yahoo.com/group/revInterop/message/298>. I use virtual getProp/setProps in my...
... Well Mark, technically you are only passing in one parameter :-) You are passing one parameter that you have to parse. If you go this route for data...
Trevor- ... Yes, exactly the point. The reason we're having this discussion here (well, the reason "*I'm* having it here) is to promote the interoperability of...
Hello Mark Wieder, Marielle, and y'all ... Marielle does indeed express herself coherently, clearly, and persuasively. Her above sentence is well-formed, but,...
... I like the approach of common handlers shared among libs and using custom props to decide if the lib should act on object. That way I could do this: ...
Trevor- Yes, I realize that was kind of cheating... but yes, if you can package the data correctly then you can get around the single parameter hurdle. -- ...
Alain- ... Yes, I think you may have gotten the wrong idea from my post. I wasn't trying to be flippant here. Marielle did indeed get right to the core of what...
Trevor- ... ...and I forget whether or not there was a buy-in from rev on the idea... At any rate, my idea for the "RegisterEvent" or whatever handler is that...

Trevor- ... ROTFL - I wonder if Dar's coming... anyway, I understand a reticence to change engine behavior - it's not something that should be undertaken...
... But what it also means is that we need to agree on a common set of handlers that do the expected thing; that is, I can no longer use "RegisterEvent" as a...
... Agreed - it's a catch-22; you either use more typing to get the same effect: get (the RegisterEvent["mouseUp"] of stack "myStack") vs. RegisterEvent...
Ken- ... Yes - I didn't mean to say otherwise. What I'd like to see us work out as a standard is a minimal set of handlers required for interoperable ...
... Actually, Marielle, I said that... although it has its advantages, it jus seems awkward to me to execute a command like "RegisterEvent" using a custom ...

Ken- ... Nope - it's not just you. It *is* awkward and goes against the grain of the naturalness of xtalk. But it *is* very powerful. I regard it as a kludge...
... get is just like send in that you can't pass arrays, right? For that reason, I would love to see that small switch in the engine so no "stub" required. ...
Trevor- ... Something was bothering me about this and I went back and looked at it again. I'm actually passing the entire xml *text* to my setProp handler,...
