Obtain information about a particular parameter created by the current event raised by a COM component.

Syntax

$ObjEventParameter (ParameterNumber)

Return Value

Returns a result that can be a component object or a string for the passed parameter number.

Comments

The Event structure displays information about the last event that caused form input to terminate. The proprietary events of an object can trigger Zim to terminate form input. To trigger this, use the command

FORM SET (OBJECTEVENT . . .)

When the proprietary events of an object cause forms input to terminate, the eventname field is set to the name of the event and the event type is set to formfield.

Often the proprietary events of an object pass along extra information in the form of parameters. These parameters can be queried using the $ObjEventParameter function.

Warning

COM objects are being discontinued by Microsoft and may not be available in future releases of Zim-X.
