instead of Windows messaging.
You must call the Advise

method from the event handler

that is handling the update error events for the network

variable monitor point. For more information on this, see

the Advise

method of the

NvMonitorPoint

object

.

The object created in step 1 will now call this method

whenever a network variable monitor point error is received.

UpdateEvent

Summary

Allows an object to execute a callback for network variable

monitor point updates. This can only be used in

multi-threading programming environments such as Visual

C++. It cannot be used in Visual Basic. To cause events to be

generated in this manner, follow these steps:
1. Create an object that implements the

ILcaNvMonitorPointListener interface.

2.

Define the object's behavior when the

UpdateEvent

method is called

.

3.

Call the

Advise

method of the

NvMonitorPoint

object

with the object created in step 1 as the object element.

OpenLNS will then provide event notification of update

events using callbacks instead of Windows messaging.

You must call the Advise method from the event handler

that is handling the update events for the network

variable monitor point. For more information, see the

Advise

method of the

NvMonitorPoint

object

For completion code messages, the InputDp, OutputDp, and

Src parameters are NULL.
