RequestComplete Event

[Microsoft Agent is deprecated as of Windows 7, and may be unavailable in subsequent versions of Windows.]

Description

Occurs when the server completes a queued request.

Syntax

Sub agent**_RequestComplete** (ByVal Request**)**

Part	Description
Request	Returns the Request object.

 

Remarks

This event returns a Request object. Because requests are processed asynchronously, you can use this event to determine when the server completes processing a request (such as a Get, Play, or Speak method) to synchronize this event with other actions generated by your application. The server sends the event only to the client that created the reference to the Request object and only if you defined a global variable for the request reference:

   Dim MyRequest 
   Dim Genie 

   Sub window_Onload
   
   Agent1.Characters.Load "Genie","https://agent.microsoft.com/characters/v2/genie/genie.acf"

   Set Genie = Agent.Characters("Genie")

   ' This syntax will generate RequestStart and RequestComplete events.
   Set MyRequest = Genie.Get("state", "Showing")
   ' This syntax will not generate RequestStart and RequestComplete events.
   Genie.Get "state", "Hiding"
   
   End Sub

   Sub Agent1_RequestComplete(ByVal Request)

   If Request = MyRequest Then
      Status = "Showing animation is now loaded"

   End Sub

Because animation Request objects don't get assigned until the server processes the request, make sure that the Request object exists before you attempt to evaluate it. For example, in Visual Basic, if you use a conditional to test whether a specific request was completed, you can use the Nothing keyword:

   Sub Agent1_RequestComplete (ByVal Request)

   If Not (MyRequest Is Nothing) Then
      If Request = MyRequest Then
      '-- Do whatever
      End If
   End If

   End Sub

Note

In VBScript 1.0, this event fires even if you don't define references to a Request object. This has been fixed in VBScript 2.0.
