CLASS:: AbstractMessageMatcher
summary:: Matches incoming messages to Functions
categories:: External Control>Abstract Classes
related:: Classes/AbstractResponderFunc, Classes/AbstractWrappingDispatcher
DESCRIPTION::
Instances of subclasses of AbstractMessageMatcher are used by subclasses of link::Classes/AbstractWrappingDispatcher:: to match multiple parameters of incoming messages (i.e. OSC or MIDI) to instances of subclasses of link::Classes/AbstractResponderFunc::. This class and its subclasses are private and generally users should not need to address them directly.
CLASSMETHODS::
INSTANCEMETHODS::
METHOD:: func
Get or set this object's response link::Classes/Function::.
returns:: A link::Classes/Function:: or similar object.
METHOD:: value
Evaluate an incoming message to see if it matches. Subclasses should override this message to take appropriate arguments. If a match is found, this method should call value on this object's func, passing the message as appropriate arguments.
METHOD:: valueArray
As link::#-value:: above, but with the arguments passed as a single link::Classes/Array::. This method is needed so that subclasses can work in FunctionLists.
argument:: args
An link::Classes/Array:: containing the message and appropriate arguments.
