Not sure I'm able to describe what I want in words, but will try.

I have a statechart with two states stateA and stateB. I have two events, evGotoA and evGotoB that will let me transition between the states.

So if I'm in stateA and generate the evGotoB state I will transiton to stateB. evGotoA will then take me back to stateA.

Now, if I'm in stateA and generate evGotoA nothing will happen and the event will be consumed "behind the scenes".

Is there a way to catch this event and say do a printout when it was not consumed by my statechart? Naturaly I could do things like a super state and use reaction in state, or I can handle it in stateA, but if I have lots of states and lots of events this becomes "cumbersome". I looking for a generic way of doing this.

Is there a way to do this?

Override the handleEvent method on every reactive class in order to catch unhandled events
In C++ this is found in OMReactive.h/.cpp known as handleEventNotConsumed()

Thanks,

This would have to be done in the oxf framework then? That would give me a generic override for everyone. Is there a awy to do an individual override for only the classes where I want it? I can foresee several different uses for this so can't make one that works for all.

No, you can choose to override or not on a class by class basis.
I only mentioned the oxf so you'd know its signature to help you override it.

Gotcha!

Thanks, looks to be exactly what I need.
