// This macro demonstrates custom access and custom drawing for TMsgList class // Main motivation for this example - demonstrate how traffic between server and // client can be minimized and how one could build custom UI in the browser // // TMsgList in this tutorial keep last N messages, numbering each with unique identifier // There is TMsgList::Select() method which selects messages from the list // If one specifies identifier, only messages newer than this identifier are selected // In the selection list (TList object of TObjString) first item always identifier for // the latest message in the list // // In JavaScript code (httptextlog.js) one uses Select() method to receive latest // messages, which not yet been seen in the browser and display them as text // At maximum, 1000 elements are preserved in the browser. // // Macro should always be started in compiled mode, otherwise Select() method is not // accessible via TClass instance.
