Detailed Description

DynamicMessageType is a handle to an existing message type.

You can use it to add and remove a message handler or to dispatch a message of that type on a node.

You can use a DynamicMessageType to access message types by their message arguments type and fully qualified name. When you do not have the message arguments type or it is irrelevant, access message types using the AbstractMessageType type.

You can pass DynamicMessageType directly to functions that take the MessageType argument. You can also query all message type info from DynamicMessageType.

Parameters

<MessageArgumentsType>

Associated message arguments class, which holds the property type definitions for the arguments of this message type.
