ReceiveActor.Receive Method (Type, Action(Object), Predicate(Object))

ReceiveActorReceive Method (Type, ActionObject, PredicateObject)

Registers a handler for incoming messages of the specified [!:messageType]. If shouldHandle!=null then it must return true before a message is passed to handler.

Remarks

This method may only be called when constructing the actor or from Become(Action, Boolean).

Remarks

Note that handlers registered prior to this may have handled the message already. In that case, this handler will not be invoked.
