Zugg Software :: View topic - [BUG] onLoad in shared package only fires once for multiple windows

Posted: Wed Mar 21, 2012 5:22 am

I have a single session with multiple windows that are each their own "network session."
I have a shared package that each window has enabled.
In that shared package is a class which contains session initialization scripts.
In that class is an onLoad event. For testing purposes, i set it to #SAY Hello %window from onLoad.
This only fires once even though multiple windows are being initialized.

Yes, I've verified that the package is actually shared. There is an onConnect even (for testing purposes) that has similar text: #SAY %window from onConnect. This does work.

I would say this is perfectly normal.

If you put the onLoad event in the shared package, then it will be fired when that shared module is loaded. That is once. If you really want to use onLoad here (not onConnect) put it in each window.

#EVENT onLoad {#FORALL %names {#WIN %1 Hello}}
%names contains a list of all your windowNames in the current session
