Sending Messages Between Pages in Perspective

Hint: it’s not.
If you call someone and they haven’t been born yet, then they won’t receive your call.

I was trying to do the same. So, now I'm looking for a way to get the pageID of the unborn page.

I think that I can locate the new page by using this code:

Is the pageID unique?

It's true that the Popup has no way to directly refer to the "parent" page it belongs to. You should only need to specify a pageId argument if you intent to target a different page. For example, consider a session which has two pages open. You place a button which is supposed to close the other page. You would use something like this: session_objs = system.perspective.getSessionInfo() for session_obj in session_objs: if session_obj.id == self.session.props.id: for page_id in session…

Then if page_id == self.page.props.pageId: should do the trick. But, If that's true, why not use self.page.props.pageId directly?

Edit #1:
I tested using a delay but now I know that it's using the old pageID.

from threading import Timer
	
	page = "/newtestpage"
	system.perspective.navigate(page)
	
	
	def runThisLater(param):
		payload = {"test": True}
		scope = "page"
		message = "newStatus"
		system.perspective.sendMessage(message, payload , scope)
	 
	# Call invokeLater with a 3000ms delay. Note that our function will not run immediately
	# because invokeLater always executes once the rest of this script is complete.
	Timer(1.0, runThisLater, ["Stop Waiting, I'm done"]).start()
