Bind a listener for events from this GUI.

call()

Call a method in the GUI context. This is just a convenience wrapper around eval which will build the string to eval automatically from the method arguments.

Example: var x = 7; var st = ‘hello “Bob”’; gui.call(‘myfunc’, x, st); is equivalent to gui.guiEval( “myfunc(7, ‘hello “Bob”’);” );

Shows the GUI window.

guiEval(js)

Arguments:

• js –

Evaluate the Javascript string inside the GUI context.

hide()

Hides the GUI window.

onException(cb)

Arguments:

• cb –

Bind a listener for exception events. Listener should have the form fn(message, file, linenum).

set(varname, value)

Arguments:

• varname –
• value –

Set the value of a variable in the GUI context. This is just a convenience wrapper around eval which will build the string to eval automatically from the arguments.

Example: gui.set(‘myvar’, 17) is equivalent to gui.eval(‘var myvar = 17;’);

show()

Shows the GUI window.

url()

Get the current URL. Should only be used on browsers, not regular GUIs, since the GUI URL won’t be meaningful.

variable(name)

param string name:  the name of the variable returns:a placeholder object which gets converted to

the variable name when passed to GUI.call or GUI.set.

rtype:object

Create an object which can be used to specify a variable name to GUI.call and GUI.set. Since strings are converted to string literals, it isn’t possible to specify variable names in these calls without this method.
