MapObject Messages

MapObject,View-Details is issued when the user right clicks on a mesh object and selects View-Details from the menu which the game presents.
Some objects, such as trains, vehicles and industries, present a browser in response giving information about the selected objects and sometimes allowing a measure of control in Driver.
Where the selected object does not use the message it can be intercepted in script to call up a user defined browser window allowing command links to be inserted.
To do this, define a handler to start a browser

AddHandler(me,"MapObject","View-Details","ViewDetailsHandler");

void ViewDetailsHandler(Message msg) {
  StartViewDetailsBrowser();
}

MapObject,View-Schedule provides a similar facility for vehicles which have an associated timetable.
