FPCEventDefinition object

Applies to: desktop apps only

The FPCEventDefinition object is used to define a single event. Events describe conditions that require the attention of an administrator. Predetermined actions can be triggered in response to particular events by using the FPCAlert object. Each event is uniquely identified by its EventGUID property.

This object is an element of an FPCEventDefinitions collection.

For a detailed programmtic example of using the FPCEventDefinition object to create a new event for signaling alerts in a Web filter, see Signaling Events and Alerts. For information about using events to signal alerts in application filters, see Using Events and Alerts.

Name Description
CancelWaitForChanges Cancels the registration established by the WaitForChanges method (for use in C and C++ programming only).
CanImport Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the object's properties can be imported from the specified XML document.
Export Writes the stored values of all of the object's properties to the specified XML document.
ExportToFile Writes the stored values of all of the object's properties to the specified XML file.
GetServiceRestartMask Retrieves a 32-bit bitmask of the FpcServices enumerated type that specifies which services need to be restarted for currently unsaved changes to take effect.
Import Copies the values of all of the object's properties from the specified XML document to persistent storage.
ImportFromFile Copies the values of all of the object's properties from the specified XML file to persistent storage.
LoadDocProperties Provides the XML document's properties so that you can know what information can be imported from the document.
Refresh Reads the values of all of the object's properties from persistent storage, overwriting any changes that have not been saved.
Save Writes the current values of all of the object's properties to persistent storage.
WaitForChanges Registers to wait for an event indicating that the contents of the object have changed (for use in C and C++ programming only).

 

Properties Inherited from FPCPersist

Name Description
PersistentName Gets the persistent name of the object. The persistent name of an object is a name that is unique for the object at the respective level of the COM object hierarchy.
