Method ActiveXObject():subscribeEvent()

Subscribes to a COM/ActiveX event.

:subscribeEvent( <nDISPID>, <bHandler>, [<cGUID>] ) --> lSuccess

<nDISPID> is a numeric value that specifies the numeric dispatch ID (DISPID) of the event to be subscribed to.

<bHandler> contains a code block to be associated with the COM/ActiveX event.

<cGUID>

<cGUID> is a character string that specifies the globally unique identifier (GUID) of a COM event interface. This parameter is optional.

:subscribeEvent() returns a logical value. If the event identified by the dispatch ID in <nDISPID> is subscribed, the value .T. (true) is returned. Otherwise, :subscribeEvent() returns .F. (false).

The method :subscribeEvent() subscribes to the COM/ActiveX event specified via the <nDISPID> parameter. After the event is subscribed by the ActiveXObject, the code block passed in parameter <bHandler> is called automatically when the event is fired by the ActiveX object connected. To remove the association established by this method, an application uses the method :unsubscribeEvent().

To verify whether the event is supported by the connected COM/ActiveX object, :subscribeEvent() automatically checks all COM event interfaces published by the COM/ActiveX component. Therefore, parameter <cGUID> need not be specified by the Xbase++ application unless an event interface cannot be addressed for any reason.

The method :subscribeEvent() is used internally by the event handling mechanism introduced by class ActiveXObject. Xbase++ applications need not call this method directly.
