Inheritance diagram for EventVar:

Public Member Functions
const void	Notify ()
	Notify all listeners, no data supplied.
const void	Notify (void *data)
	Notify all listeners about variable change with ClientData.
const void	Notify (const std::string &s)
	Notify all listeners about variable change with a string.
const void	Notify (int n, const std::string &s)
	Notify all listeners about variable change with a string and an int.
const void	Notify (std::shared_ptr< void > p, const std::string &s, int n=0)
	Notify all listeners about variable change with shared_ptr, a string and an optional number.
Public Member Functions inherited from Observable
	Observable (const std::string &_key)
	Create an instance listening to given key.
	Observable (const KeyProvider &kp)
	Create an instance listening to key provided by kp.GetKey().
const void	Notify (std::shared_ptr< const void > p)
	Notify all listeners about variable change with a shared_ptr payload.
bool	Unlisten (wxEvtHandler *listener, wxEventType ev)
	Remove window listening to ev from list of listeners. More...
std::string	GetKey () const
	Retrieve the actual listening key:

Additional Inherited Members
Public Attributes inherited from Observable
const std::string	key
	The key used to create and clone.
Protected Member Functions inherited from Observable
const void	Notify (std::shared_ptr< const void > ptr, const std::string &s, int num, void *client_data)
	Notify all listeners: send them a 'type' ObservedEvt message as defined by listen() with optional data available using GetString(), getInt(), GetSharedPtr() and/or GetClientData().
const void	Notify (const std::string &s, void *client_data)
	Notify all listeners: send them a 'type' ObservedEvt message as defined by listen() with optional data available using GetString() and/or GetClientData().

Detailed Description

Generic event handling between between two parties like MVC Model and Controller using a shared EventVar variable.

Notifying, for example in Model code:

class Model: ...
public:
  EventVar change;

  void some_method() {
    ...
    change.Notify("new value")
  }

Listening, for example in Controller/GUI:

class Gui: public wxEvtHandler {
public:
  Gui:Gui(Model& model) {
    wxDEFINE_EVENT(EVT_FOO, wxCommandEvent);
    change_listener.Listen(model.change, this, EVT_FOO);
    Bind(EVT_FOO, [&](wxCommandEvent ev) {
      auto s = ev.GetString();    s -> "new value"
      ... do something;
    });
  }

private:
  ObservableListener change_listener;
}
