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) returns all ABL class events based on the flags specified.
  • This method does not return .NET class events defined as private or internal.
