Detailed Description

Provides the capabilities that allow a Context to communicate across the Context boundary.

Specifically, CrossContext provides

• A CrossContextInjectionBinder that allows injections to be shared cross-context
• An EventDispatcher that allows messages to be sent between Contexts
• Methods (the ICrossContextCapable API) for adding and removing the hooks between Contexts.

Member Data Documentation

IEventDispatcher strange.extensions.context.impl.CrossContext._crossContextDispatcher

protected

A specific instance of EventDispatcher that communicates across multiple contexts.

An event sent across this dispatcher will be re-dispatched by the various context-wide dispatchers. So a dispatch to other contexts is simply

crossContextDispatcher.Dispatch(MY_EVENT, payload);

Other contexts don't need to listen to the cross-context dispatcher as such, just map the necessary event to your local context dispatcher and you'll receive it.
