Attachmate.Reflection.Objects.Emulation.OpenSystems Library / Attachmate.Reflection.Objects.Emulation.OpenSystems Library / Screen Object / DefineEvent Method
The Long value used as an identifier for this event. If the value is set to 0, a value is automatically assigned.
A DefinedEventType value that specifies the event type being defined.
Specifies information corresponding to the event type. For DefinedEventType_TimeElapsed and DefinedEventType_Silence, this specifies an interval of time in HH:MM:SS format, For DefinedEventType_TimeOfDay, this specifies time of day. For DefinedEventType_ReceiveString and DefinedEventType_DisplayString, it specifies the string. For other event types, it is ignored.
The screen row position (the first row = 1). Mandatory for EventTypes that require a Row parameter, otherwise ignored.
The screen column position (the first column = 1). Mandatory for EventTypes that require a Column parameter, otherwise ignored.

    DefineEvent Method (Screen)
    In This Topic
    Defines a specific event. The event remains defined until it is removed with a RemoveEvent or ClearEvent call or the host session is closed.

    Parameters

    EventNumber

    EventType
    A DefinedEventType value that specifies the event type being defined.
    StringParam
    Specifies information corresponding to the event type. For DefinedEventType_TimeElapsed and DefinedEventType_Silence, this specifies an interval of time in HH:MM:SS format, For DefinedEventType_TimeOfDay, this specifies time of day. For DefinedEventType_ReceiveString and DefinedEventType_DisplayString, it specifies the string. For other event types, it is ignored.
    Row

    Assigned event number
    Remarks
    Do not try to use VBA DefineEvent method / DefinedEvent event infrastructure and legacy COM DefineEvent/DefinedEvent infrastructure from within a single active session. This will not work properly as there are differences in functionality between the two and they each utilize the same resources in the underlying connectivity code.
