Purpose
ListenTo is a concept in UBIK® Studio, that allows to connect and therefore cascade controls in an arbitrary mannner. The basic idea is, that each control can have a "Master" control, meaning another control to which selection changes it is constantly listening. This master is referred as the its ListenTo-Source.
Example
Let's assume a Class Browser shall be the master control and we want an Object Editor to always allow us to edit the currently selected object of this Class Browser.
- Open a ClassBrowser in an area of UBIK® Studio
- Open an ObjectEditor in another area
- Drag an object from the ClassBrowser with the left mouse button and drop it on the header of the ObjectEditor. The header text should now display a "+" sign and the text of the dropped object.
