Re: "Click" and "Change" Notifications for Array Elements in Data Structures

It seems that if you [print] from the element's struct you get 'click
messages' with pointers for every element in the array when clicking, is
that it?

I guess this same [struct] should then just also send a 'change' message
for the pointer of the element that is being changed. It does make sense
and seems like a natural thing given how stuff works in general. I'd like
to see that!

I haven't looked at the code, but I guess you could just open this request
on github.

cheers
