Example

As it applies to the FPHTMLScriptElement object.

The following example sets the event attribute to the onmousemove event for the first SCRIPT element in the active document.

Dim objScript As FPHTMLScriptElement

Set objScript = ActiveDocument.Scripts.Item(0)
objScript.event = "onmousemove"

As it applies to the FPHTMLWindow2 object.

The following example displays a message every time the user clicks on the active document telling whether the user is pressing the SHIFT key. This example must be placed in a class module, and it assumes that you have declared in the General Declarations section of a class module an FPHTMLDocument object variable called "doc" using the WithEvents keyword.

Private Function objDoc_onclick() As Boolean
    Dim objEvent As IHTMLEventObj

    Set objEvent = Window.event
    
    Select Case objEvent.shiftKey
        Case False
            MsgBox "You are not pressing your SHIFT key."
        Case True
            MsgBox "You are pressing your SHIFT key."
    End Select
End Function
