[gme-users] Invoking an Add-On from a Decorator event

[Cinthya Lopez]

Hi all,

Does anyone know the recommended way to invoke an Add-On from a Decorator's event?

Currently I create an instance to my Add-On and call its ObjectEvent() function directly from my Decorator. This allowed me to run my add-on code but my current issue is that the add-on code brings up a form that allows the user to update an atom's attribute value. When the add-on form is brought up by the decorator the attribute's value is not updated with the new value; even though, MgaAtom. set_StrAttrByName() is called. If I understand correctly, an add-on is always running in the background, so should I be able to grab a reference to it instead of creating a new instance of it? I am thinking my issue could be that I am creating a new instance of the add-on instead of calling the instance that is currently running.

Thanks,
Cinthya
