The iMotion Edgeware platform provides two methods for configuration of the event controls namely initialization parameters and registration arguments.
Initialization parameters are tied to an individual event control assigned either as attributes in the default editor or through a custom editor when the event control implements the IEventControlDialogProvider interface.
Registration arguments provide a method for an event producer to filter events to a particular consumer by assigning properties to the link between the producer and consumer. These properties are called registration arguments and they are assigned through attributes for the producer, or through a custom dialog when the producer implements the IEventProducerLinkDialogProvider interface.
Both initialization parameters and registration arguments are name-value string pairs that are saved in the XML-based workflow project. Sometimes a simple string is insufficient. But, using serialization it is possible to have objects or arrays of objects as your initialization parameters and registration arguments.
