Event feedback

[Jonathan Rea]

Hello,

Any help on the below would be much appreciated.

A more specific point to my previous post. if i have a simple class which
has some settable properties and an update event like so :

PSEUDO-CODE :

class simpleClass
{

public event Updated;

property1
{
get
{
return blabla;
}
set
{
blabla = value;
Updated();
}
}

}

And a GUI class that subscribes to the event like so

class GUI
{

private simpleClass m_simpleClass;

public GUI()
{
m_simpleClass = new class;
m_Simpleclass.Updated += eventHandler( refreshControl );
}

private void refreshControl ()
{
// set up out control with our properties in the simple class
DisplayBox.Value = m_simpleClass.property1;
}

priavte void DisplayBox_ValueChanged()
{
m_Simpleclass.property1 = blabla ...
}

}

When the GUI is first set up, if you want to display the values of the
private simple class, setting in refreshControl() causes the
DisplayBox_ValueChanged() event to be triggered. How do you stop this from
happening during setup ? i.e. how do i stop the dog chasing its tail without
having a nast if statement?

Thanks loads
Jon
