createEventObject Method | Internet Development Index |
Creates an event object that can be used when passing event context information to the PUBLIC:EVENT element's fire method.
Syntax
oEvent = element.createEventObject()
Return Value
Returns an event object.
Remarks
The same event object cannot be reused in multiple calls to the fire method.
All properties of the event object created using createEventObject are read/write, including those that would be read-only in Dynamic HTML (DHTML). This enables you to set properties on the event object from the HTML Component (HTC) file, before firing the event.
Examples
This example is derived from a calculator behavior sample. When the result changes, the behavior fires a custom onResultChange event back to the page, passing the result as a custom property of the event object.
<PUBLIC:EVENT NAME="onResultChange" ID="rcID" /> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JScript"> : function doCalc() { : oEvent = createEventObject(); oEvent.result = sResult; rcID.fire (oEvent); } </SCRIPT >This example shows what the containing page looks like.
