Global Functions |
There are two globally-defined functions for the Scriptable Object component, alert and errmsg.
The alert function is provided mainly for compatibility with the JScript language. This function takes a single string parameter which will be presented to the user as a standard modal Windows message box with an OK button. VBScript users will probably want to use the more extensive MsgBox function, which is provided natively by the VBScript engine, rather than the alert method.
alert(string)
function MyEventSrc::Event1( )
{
// will pop up a message box with the following text
alert("In MyEventSrc_Event1!");
}
The errmsg function is also a replacement for functionality typically provided by MsgBox. The function takes a string parameters, and puts up a "Script Error" message box with an OK button, and returns both the text of the string and the line number at which it occurs.
function MyEventSrc::Event1( )
{
// will pop up a script message box with the following
text
errmsg("In MyEventSrc_Event1!");
}
