DQMH Module Did Init broadcast event.

[Rafal_Kor]

I think I understand the intent for Module Did Init broadcast event. My question is about its argument. It is a Boolean set to True by the framework. Can I assume that because that argument is there, exposed to me, I can do with it as I see fit for my module.

In the initialize case of my module I perform some initialization task, in addition to what is required by the framework. Specifically I load some *.ini files needed for my module to operate. Because these are human editable *.ini files, there may be errors in them, in which case I wouldn't want the module to start. I think I would like my module to abort its launch. I'm thinking of setting the Module Did Init broadcast argument to FALSE. I can also set the error flag to execute through the error case, and inform the calling module that there was an initialization error in the module being called, and perhaps to try again. Is my thinking correct? Would this be the intended use for the argument of the Module Did Init broadcast event?

Hey,

I remember discusding something similar recently. You might want to take a look at this thread, perhaps it has some more food for thought...

Pls excuse my brevity, I’m writing this on my phone.

oh... now I see, thank you for the link.

... perhaps then removing the argument from the Module Did Init broadcast event might prevent people from asking what I've asked about, and as it turns out I wasn't the only one. thank you for the suggested thread.

Hi Rafal_Kor,

We will take your suggestion of removing the argument into consideration. As you saw in the thread we have both approaches at Delacor, some initialize things in the initialize MHL case, some don't. Also, once the module is created, that code belongs in your project, feel free to modify the broadcast and remove the argument if you don't plan to use it. On the same token, you could open that typedef and add an error argument if you decided to go the route of initializing things in your initialize MHL case. If you would like all of your DQMH modules to have the same arguments for your Did Init broadcast, you can create your own DQMH template and create DQMH modules from there.
