Abstract
A method for delivering a message between components in a project using a GUI through which users may be able to monitor and control industrial processes. Each component has graphical features and/or behavioral features. The method comprises steps of: receiving first definition input to define a message handler associated with a first component in the project for receiving messages for the first component and receiving second definition input to define a messenger associated with a second component in the project for sending messages. The method includes, in response to receiving a payload input via the messenger associated with the second component: identifying components having associated message handlers with a message type definition that matches a message type argument of the messenger and a scope definition that matches a scope argument of the messenger, delivering the payload, and executing script implementations of the message handlers.
