Subject: Re: [cgmo-webcgm] Need help with WebCGM Events!
Hello Benoit, Attached are two samples from the MetaWeb API (& sample CGM file, but you could use whatever version 4 file you want). test_API_4 utilizes most of the events we have implemented into MetaWeb already. This sample is quite academic (a better word for useless) though. test_API_5 shows how we implemented highlighting of a certain Application Structure. Hope this helps and best regards Ulrich ----- Original Message ----- From: Benoit Bezaire <benoit@itedo.com> To: CGM Open WebCGM TC <cgmo-webcgm@lists.oasis-open.org> Sent: Monday, June 14, 2004 9:01 PM Subject: [cgmo-webcgm] Need help with WebCGM Events! > Hi all, > > I'm stuck on the Event interfaces :-| > > I need to know why events are needed in the WebCGM DOM?
