This sheet shows the events that have been defined for the ActiveX control.
You can change each event's Adelia name and Help. However, the Adelia name MUST begin with a letter and be unique among event names.
If the event has parameters, these are shown in a table, with the related Adelia type and direction. If the direction (i.e. input and/or output) is not specified by the types library, you can set it using the radio buttons.
By default, the direction of a non-specified parameter (i.e. a pointer) is set to input/output.
In addition, the values of these parameters can be retrieved (in the case of input parameters) and set (in the case of output parameters) using two methods.
The name of these methods consists of a prefix followed by the event name.
When developing an application that uses the ActiveX control, they must only be called when the relevant event occurs.
The names of any parameters of a type not supported by Adelia language are struck through in the table; such parameters will not be configured with a read or write method. However, this does not prevent the event from occurring when the control is executed.
Method names must begin with a letter, and be unique among the set of method names associated with events or defined in the methods sheet.
When an event, method or parameter has been selected, you can use the contextual menu to display its default values, or the values stored in the information file if one exists.
Menu options applied to events do not affect the methods and parameters that relate to it.
You can use the tool bar to partly or fully expand or collapse the tree. The toolbar also lets you set the prefixes used when forming method names.
For ActiveX controls visible on execution, the integrator creates predefined events in relation to the Drag and Drop.
