Events declaration

EVENT Identifier ( [ Parameter #1 [ , Parameter #2 ... ] ) [ AS Boolean ]

This declares a class event. This event is raised by a function call.

You can specify if the event handler returns a boolean value. In that case, a TRUE return value indicates that the event has been cancelled.


Example

EVENT BeforeSend(Data AS String) AS Boolean

...

DIM bResult AS Boolean

' Raises the event

RAISE BeforeSend("MyData") AS bResult

IF bResult THEN
  PRINT "Canceled !"
ENDIF
By default, "InstanceName_EventName" is the name of the method called in the event listener when an event is raised.

For example, if you have a class called FancyButton and you throw an event called FancyClick, and if in your form called FMain you have a FancyButton object named MyButton, the event handler method would look like this:

PUBLIC SUB MyButton_FancyClick(your args...)

The default behavior can be changed somewhat: see Attach and other methods of the static Object class, as well as Control Groups whose information is applicable to any event-raising class.
