Description

A read-only property exposing the ActiveImageAlias McObject.

Property type

A McObject object.  

Syntax

object.ActiveImageAlias

The ActiveImageAlias Property syntax has these parts:

PartDescription
objectAn expression evaluating to an object of type McEngine.

Remarks

The ActiveImageAlias McObject is an “alias” object which has as a shadow object the McEngine.McObject(ActiveImage).

You will often want to AttachNotifySink to the ActiveImageAlias McObject instead of to the McObject backing individual images. Notify clients of ActiveImageAlias will get any notification fired on whichever image is the active image. They will also receive a “ValueChanged” standard notification whenever the shadow McImage changes, but no notification is sent if a Nothing shadow is assigned. Notify sinks of neither any old Shadow or the new Shadow are not notified of the change.

Notes

ActiveImageAlias.ShadowMcObject should never be assigned to directly. Always change the ActiveImage by assigning to the ActiveImage property.
