Is it possible to raise an event on one form and catch it on several other forms?

Try the attached code. What are you trying to achieve?

I want to check if there is a built-in Event-Driven programming capability in Gambas. When some object raises an Event, the event flies in Air. If some other object is subscribed to this event, it catches event. Other objects will ignore this event. If many objects are subscribed to event, each of them catches it.

Take a look at Observer.class
/comp/gb/observer - Gambas Documentation
/comp/gb/observer/_new - Gambas Documentation

Each form you want to catch an event of an object you can do something this…

Attached is a simple example.
on opening it opens 3 forms
all are set to monitor the test button of form1 , the Click event is reported in each forms label.

Notes.
Form1.btnTest had to have it's "Public" property set to True so it can be accessed by the other forms.

 Sorry i was a little low on time yesterday but had more time today,  I have edited your posted project to use Observer.class

Notes..
Using Object.Attach will "Detach" the object from where it is attached to and has to be re-attached, Observer will intercept and only not trigger the original handler if using "Stop Event"

The Observer did not work on the main class, i had to make FMain.IslandFormObject a public object then use that on the Observers.

New Observer() takes a second argument "After" as Boolean to control if you want your observer to trigger before or after the main objects event is triggered.

Thanks for the help!

 Three forms with labels observed the button on fourth one. This application was strongly coupled, that was not good. I tried to decouple forms with labels and button using the publisher-observer design pattern. Now the three forms observe a neutral singleton "Topic" and know nothing about objects that actually raise events. Now I can add a second form with button without any impact on the forms-observers. Now there could be null, one or many travellers that raise SOS event - no impact on null, one or many expectants for SOS event.
