NAME

       object_message  -  Sends a message to an object and returns the answer.
       Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       int object_message(DIALOG *dialog, int msg, int c);

DESCRIPTION

       Sends a message to an object and returns the answer it  has  generated.
       Remember  that  the  first  parameter is the dialog object (not a whole
       array) that you wish to send the message to. For example, to  make  the
       second object in a dialog draw itself, you might write:

          object_message(&dialog[1], MSG_DRAW, 0);

       The  function  will take care of scaring and unscaring the mouse if the
       message is MSG_DRAW.
