		Processing Incoming Messages : Signal Method

Processing Incoming Messages

The Signal Method

The second method is referred to as "Signal" processing. When a packet is received the Incoming Message Object determines which CIGI Class Library object unpacks the data and then determines which method of a registered "Signal" object is called to process the data. Each "Signal" class is based on the CigiBaseSignalProcessing class. This class contains virtual methods for processing the signals. The user must create a new Signal class and populate each signal that will be processed using this method.

Warning: The Signal method cannot process "User Defined Packets". So, the user must use Events or Callbacks to processes "User Defined Packets" (This is not a problem with iteration).

Example: Registering a Signal Processor

IncomingMessage.RegisterSignalProcessor(&SigProc);
