Open a window on client

[st4lk3r87]

Hello!

I'm trying to create an extension and I'm having difficulty on achieving these steps:

- The host open manually "Window A" which contains a button
- The host click on that button
- After the click of the button all clients will automatically open a new "Window B".

Window B and A are different WindowClasses so I can't use the share() method on Window A.

I hope it's clear enough. Thank you for the answer!

I'm planning to solve it by using Comm.deliverOOBMessage function. I wonder if it's the right choice.

OOB messaging is the usual way to offload code from one instance to others.

Please do post your code when you work it out!

There is a "ready check" extension out there that does this (opens a window on all the clients when the GM clicks a button, and then monitors the responses from the various clients).

I think this (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?42676-CoreRPG-based-Extention-ReadyCheck&p=379037&styleid=5) is it.

Yes, I got inspiration from that extension but I don't want to share the same window. As Trenloe said I'm going to use OOBMessage to open the window on other clients.

Good luck, st4lk3r87.

Yeah, that's what that extension does. It opens a different window on each client (and it's custom for the client - each client sees a different window).

It shares the same WindowClass and set different visibility for all the items. It's the same Window but with different logic. I checked the code :)

If it was me, I would use one of those two methods. Either use the same window class with embedded subwindows that you activate depending on whether it's host/client (like extension); or use OOB to open a different window class (like you were thinking). The only difference is how you want your code to look.
