Triggering Event from window to window

[pullesj]

I would like to be able to either send a message to another open window (or just trigger the event in the receiving window) from the current open window and I'm having a little difficulty determining how to accomplish this.

The situation is that after data is saved (in the pfc_postupdate event datawindow in window 'A') I would like to trigger an event to occur in window 'B') - basically telling window 'B' to refresh it's datawindow's contents.

The application PB 9 using PFC's and is MDI and the 2 windows are inherited from w_sheet.

I'd like to include validation to be sure window 'B' is open before attempting to triggering the event. Would using IsValid(window 'B') verify that window is actually open?

Thanks,

Jason

if isvalid(B) then
B.your_function()
end if
