Fast notification interface to use instead of events.

A wodSmtpNotify object.  Reference to implementation of IwodSmtpServer interface.

[Set] object.Notification [= Notifications]

The Notification Property syntax has these parts:

NOTE: This property is available only in COM version of wodSmtpServer.

Notification property holds reference to IwodSmtpNotify interface that can be implemented by your application. When this property is set, and contains such a reference, wodSmtpServer will call your method implementations instead of firing events. More information on how this works can be found here.

For example, instead of having this in your code (VB example):

Private Sub wodSmtpServer1_Connected(ByVal User As WODSMTPSERVERCOMLib.ISmtpUser, Action As WODSMTPSERVERCOMLib.SmtpActions)

End Sub

you will have this:

Private Sub INotifications_Connected(ByVal Owner As WODSMTPSERVERCOMLib.IwodSmtpServerCom, ByVal User As WODSMTPSERVERCOMLib.ISmtpUser, Action As WODSMTPSERVERCOMLib.SmtpActions)

End Sub

pretty much the same - except notification method has one more argument - Owner, which holds reference to wodSmtpServer instance that called this method.

In VB, to implement INotifications interface, you need code like this:

- at the top of the code, in <general> section, put this:

Dim Smtp1 As wodSmtpServerCom
Implements INotifications

- in Form_Load (or where you initialize new instance of wodSmtpServer) do this:

Set Smtp1 = New wodSmtpServerCom
Set Smtp1.Notification = Me
Smtp1.Port = 25
Smtp1.Start
'...
 

You can notice that when we declared Smtp, we did not use WithEvents keyword - it is not needed anymore, because events will not be fired anymore. Notification methods we implement will be called instead!
