Description

Generates an event specified by its name for the given tested object. The list of available events is displayed in the Events pane of the Object Browser panel. If the event handler requires one or more parameters, then they should be specified after the EventName parameter.

Declaration

aqObject.RaiseEvent(IObject, EventName, Param1, Param2, ...)

IObject	[in]	Required	Variant
EventName	[in]	Required	String
Param1	[in]	Optional	Variant
Param2	[in]	Optional	Variant
...
Result	Boolean

Applies To

The method is applied to the following object:

aqObject

Parameters

The method has the following parameters:

IObject

The object whose event you want to generate.

EventName

The name of the event to be generated.

If the event with the given name was not found, an error occurs. Use the aqObject.IsSupported method to verify whether the object has a certain event.

Param1, Param2, ..., ParamN

Specify the parameters (if any) required by the event handler.

Result Value

True if the event has been generated successfully, and False otherwise.

Remarks

The RaiseEvent function does not support HTML objects.

Since RaiseEvent is a reserved keyword in VBScript, to call the RaiseEvent function in VBScript code, you must place the aqObject object name before the function name: aqObject.RaiseEvent. Otherwise, you will get a VBScript compilation error when running the script.

Example

The code below checks whether the specified event is supported by the object. If it is, the routine raises the event. Otherwise, an error occurs.

JavaScript, JScript

function RaiseEventExample()
{

  // Specifies the object and the event name
  var Obj = Sys.Process("MyApplication");
  var sName = "EventName";

  // Checks whether the needed event is supported by the object
  if ( aqObject.IsSupported(Obj, sName) )
    // Raises the event
    aqObject.RaiseEvent(Obj, sName)
  else
    Log.Error("The specified event is not supported by the object");

}

Python

def RaiseEventExample():
  # Specifies the object and the event name
  Obj = Sys.Process("MyApplication")
  sName = "EventName"
  # Checks whether the needed event is supported by the object
  if aqObject.IsSupported(Obj, sName):
    # Raises the event
    aqObject.RaiseEvent(Obj, sName)
  else:
    Log.Error("The specified event is not supported by the object")

VBScript

Sub RaiseEventExample

  ' Specifies the object and the event name
  Set Obj = Sys.Process("MyApplication")
  sName = "EventName"

  ' Checks whether the needed event is supported by the object
  If aqObject.IsSupported(Obj, sName) Then
    ' Raises the event
    Call aqObject.RaiseEvent(Obj, sName)
  Else
    Log.Error "The specified event is not supported by the object"
  End If

End Sub

DelphiScript

function RaiseEventExample;
var Obj, sName;
begin

  // Specifies the object and the event name
  Obj := Sys.Process('MyApplication');
  sName := 'EventName';

  // Checks whether the needed event is supported by the object
  if ( aqObject.IsSupported(Obj, sName) ) then
    // Raises the event
    aqObject.RaiseEvent(Obj, sName)
  else
    Log.Error('The specified event is not supported by the object');
