Name
mui.Notify -- add/remove notification on a MUI object attribute
Synopsis
mui.Notify(id$, attr$, enable)
Function
This function can be used to add or remove a notification on the attribute attr$ in the MUI object specified in id$. You have to pass the attribute name and a boolean flag that indicates whether you want to enable or disable notifications on that attribute. Attribute names and object IDs are case insensitive, i.e. it does not matter if you use upper or lower case characters for them.

The attributes that you can use with this function depend on the class of the specified MUI object. Have a look at the class reference to see what attributes are supported by the different MUI classes. In order to use an attribute with this function, it needs to have an applicability of "N". Attributes of Area class and Notify class can be used on almost all other classes because the Area and Notify classes act as superclasses for most of the other classes.

Once you have setup a notification on a certain object attribute, you can listen to these events by installing a MUI Royale event handler callback using the InstallEventHandler() Hollywood function. See Notifications for details.

Please note that notifications can also be setup in the XML GUI declaration by using the Notify tag. See Notifications for details.

Inputs
id$
identifier of MUI object to use
attr$
attribute to listen to
enable
True to add a notification or False to remove notification from this object
Example
mui.Notify("my_listview", "active", True)
The code above installs a notification that triggers whenever the Listview.Active attribute changes in the listview that has the identifier "my_listview".
