Remarks
This property is read-only. The event
property provides a way to get state information about any of the standard events passed from the scriptlet: onclick, ondblclick, onkeydown, onkeypress, onkeyup, onmousedown, onmousemove, onmouseup. This property corresponds to the DHTML event
object.
To get state information, you can query the values of the event
property's members, which include altKey
, ctrlKey
, keyCode
, offsetX
, offsetY
, shiftKey
, srcElement
, type
, and others. The following example script illustrates how you can use the event
property to get more information about a standard event:
Sub ScriptContainer1_onkeyup() MsgBox "The character typed was " & ScriptContainer1.event.keyCode MsgBox "The Alt key state was " & ScriptContainer1.event.altKey MsgBox "The Ctrl key state was " & ScriptContainer1.event.ctrlKey MsgBox "The Shift key state was " & ScriptContainer1.event.shiftKey MsgBox "The mouse was at " & offsetX & ", " & offsetY MsgBox "The affected control was " & ScriptContainer1.event.srcElement MsgBox "The event was " & ScriptContainer1.event.type End Sub
For more information about using the event
property, refer to the event
object in the DHTML documentation.
