So maybe we phrased it a bit awkward...
But, a method/function is nothing more than an extended form of variable, so you can 'pass' methods

And when I mean, 'to pass an object/method to a window' I mean passing it to the CreateWnd function, wich would add it to the window, it's just how you phrase it

Objects, Methods and variables can all be properties of an object. When you create a constructor for your own custom object, you'll learn such things...

And as we stated before, we would like to 'pass' a 'variable/method/object' to the CreateWnd 'function' wich 'adds' them to the 'Window' so we can use them in the OnWindowCtrlClicked event, perhaps as callback, or perhaps as an settings object...
And we would like to make it standalone, instead of using a global var, especially for callbacks, this would be a great improvement

I think I know what Shondoit is asking for. He basically wants to give Window class custom properties.

Like:

code:

---

function createWindow(){
          var WndTest = MsgPlus.CreateWnd("interface.xml", "WndTest");
          WndTest.CustomProperty = "This is a custom property.";
}

function OnWndTestEvent_CtrlClicked(PlusWnd, ControlId){
         Debug.Trace(PlusWnd.CustomProperty);
}

---

Exactly, but you could also use:

code:

---

function createWindow(){
          var WndTest = MsgPlus.CreateWnd("interface.xml", "WndTest");
          WndTest.CustomProperty = function (x,y) { return x*y }
}

function OnWndTestEvent_CtrlClicked(PlusWnd, ControlId){
         Debug.Trace(PlusWnd.CustomProperty(2, 5));
}

---

Or

code:

---

function createWindow(){
          var WndTest = MsgPlus.CreateWnd("interface.xml", "WndTest");
          WndTest.CustomProperty = MyObject { x:3; y:4 }
}

function OnWndTestEvent_CtrlClicked(PlusWnd, ControlId){
         Debug.Trace(PlusWnd.CustomProperty.x);
}

Right, but Cookie asked that question and there doesnt seem to be a way to do it. Though I do agree that would make things a big easier (and tidy).

Indeed you did. And as such both of you requested a different thing (while you probably meant the same thing).

I did learned such things... see my previous request.
