GetEvent( ) method

Returns a Progress.Reflect.Event instance describing the class event that matches the specified conditions. If there is no matching event, the method returns the Unknown value (?).

Return type: Progress.Reflect.Event class

Access: PUBLIC

Applies to: Progress.Lang.Class class

Syntax

GetEvent ( INPUT event-name AS CHARACTER )

GetEvent ( INPUT event-name AS CHARACTER,
           INPUT flags AS Progress.Reflect.Flags )

event-name

A CHARACTER expression that evaluates to the name of the event.

flags

A Progress.Reflect.Flags instance indicating the access mode(s), scope(s), and/or class level(s) the returned event must have. See Progress.Reflect.Flags enumeration for more information.

Notes

• If there are one or more overrides of any particular event, the Progress.Reflect.Event instance describes the override from the most derived subclass that overrides that event.
• GetEvent(event-name) only returns public, non-static events. GetEvent(event-name, flags) does return ABL class events defined as static, protected, and/or private if they satisfy the specified conditions.
• This method does not return .NET class events defined as private or internal.
