AppTriggeredEvent Class


public class AppTriggeredEvent extends DXMEvent {
     // Methods
     public void trigger();
     public void trigger(Behavior eventData);
}

Creates the event. The event can be used in the until and untilNotify methods to create reactive behaviors based on external events.

In the following example, a cube turns from red to blue, based upon some external application event:

//Turn a cube from red to blue when an external event occurs
//The following code is a fragment from a larger program
//Get the cube
GeometryBvr cube = importGeometry(buildURL(geobase, "cube.wrl");
//Create the external event
AppTriggeredEvent appEvent = new AppTriggeredEvent();
//Set up the color of the cube -- red until the event, then blue
ColorBvr col = (ColorBvr)until(red, appEvent, blue);
//Map the color to all points of the cube
GeometryBvr coloredCube = cube.diffuseColor(col);

//...elsewhere, when the application receives the event...
appEvent.trigger();

//...now coloredCube (assuming it's running) will turn blue
