I want to receive an ipcRenderer.send message with multiple arguments. The JavaScript looks like this:
document.getElementById("btn-submit").addEventListener("click", () => {
ipcRenderer.send("btn-submit", [document.getElementById("uid").nodeValue, document.getElementById("pw").nodeValue]);
});
When I try to create the listening function, located within the controller, I receive a syntax error when I reference args as an array, as shown here:
Electron.IpcMain.On("btn-submit", async (args) =>
{
MessageBoxOptions options = new MessageBoxOptions(String.Format("UID: {0} PW:{1}",args[0],args[1]))
{
Type = MessageBoxType.info,
Title = "Information",
Buttons = new string[] { "Yes", "No" }
};
var result = await Electron.Dialog.ShowMessageBoxAsync(options);
});
How do I receive the multiple arguments passed from the ipcRenderer.send method in the ipcMain listening method?
Although .On(...)
takes an Action<object>
, when there are multiple arguments you can cast the object
to List<object>
, that would fix your syntax issue:
Electron.IpcMain.On("btn-submit", async (args) =>
{
var listArgs = (List<object>)args;
MessageBoxOptions options = new MessageBoxOptions(String.Format("UID: {0} PW:{1}",listArgs[0],listArgs[1]))
{
Type = MessageBoxType.info,
Title = "Information",
Buttons = new string[] { "Yes", "No" }
};
var result = await Electron.Dialog.ShowMessageBoxAsync(options);
});
