DESCRIPTION

ShowInAllClippers forwards this message either to the method Clipper::DrawInFocus of all Clippers in the instvar clippers or to the next View in the container chain.

ARGUMENTS

VoidObjMemberFunc aMethod: a reference to a method of anObject. It is always the method Clipper::Feedback.
Object * anObject: this object gets the message aMethod. It is always the Clipper that currently tracks the mouse.
void * arg1 = 0: 1st argument for aMethod
void * arg2 = 0: 2nd argument for aMethod
void * arg3 = 0: 3rd argument for aMethod
void * arg4 = 0: 4th argument for aMethod

void

FIRST DEFINITION

class View

FILES

implementation:: View.C

KNOWN PROBLEMS

Drawing the mouse tracking feedback in all Clippers of a View can be implemented much simpler so that the method ShowInAllClippers could be removed. The mouse tracking Clipper has to get the Clipper list of the View and directly invoke the method Feedback of each opened Clipper in the list.
