call_outbound_plug and Fire_outbound_plug?

[former_member202598]

Hello

What exactly is the striking difference between these methods?  fire_outbound_plug is being  called  inside call_outbound_plug, as both are the methods of a same class cant we  call fire_outbound_plug directly???

Hi Sanguine,

Fire_outbound_plug method is used in window outbound plug and that to only when you want to navigate between two components which are added in a main component( in which a navigation link is defined for the two components added in the component usage ).

If at all there are two components and the second component is added to the first component component usage and defined a navigation link then in the window outbound plug we directly use view_manager->navigate( ) method.

Hi Sanguine ,

The method call_outbound_plug is responsible for calling a particular implementation method defined for an outbound plug (OP_prefix for O/P , gets created when you create an outbound plug ) .

Whereas the method fire_outbound_plug is responsible for actually triggering the navigation i.e whatever the o/p is destined to call will be called say for instance delegated o/p of window of another component .

Hope this will be helpful .

Thanks ,

Hi ,

Basically if you will see in the class method fire_output_plug has visibility as protected and call_output_plug has visibility as Public.

So you can call and access fire_outbound_plug method only in the window and on the other side call_outbound_plug can be used and called from anywhere.

Hi Sanguine,

suppose if you are opening as a popup that time using call_outbound_plug method.

if you want to exit that popup u can use fire_outbound_plug method.

If you want more clarification on this just put a break point in any standard popup  then you come to know .

Thanks and Regards,
