Event CreateEvent(
	string eventType
)

Function CreateEvent ( 
	eventType As String
) As Event

Event^ CreateEvent(
	String^ eventType
)

abstract CreateEvent : 
        eventType : string -> Event 

Parameters

eventType

Type: SystemString
The eventType parameter specifies the type of Event interface to be created.

Remarks

If the Event interface specified is supported by the implementation this method will return a new Event of the interface type requested. If the Event is to be dispatched via the DispatchEvent(Event) method the appropriate InitEvent(String, Boolean, Boolean) method must be called after creation in order to initialize the Event's values.

The CreateEvent(String) method is used in creating Events when it is either inconvenient or unnecessary for the user to create an Event themselves. In cases where the implementation provided Event is insufficient, users may supply their own Event implementations for use with the DispatchEvent(Event) method.

Return Value
