Use ActiveX events to trigger scripts

You can assign QuickScripts to Alarm Viewer control events, such as a mouse click or double-click. When the event occurs, the QuickScript runs.

The Alarm Viewer control supports the following events:

• Select

• Double-click

• NewAlarm

• ShutDown

• StartUp

The Select event has one parameter called ClicknRow, which identifies the row that is selected at run time.

The Double-click event has one parameter called DoubleclicknRow, which identifies the row that is double-clicked at run time.

Select and Double-click events are zero-based. When select and/or DoubleClick events are published for the user, the row count in the display starts with 0.

Note: The Alarm Viewer control ignores the user interface methods when they are called from StartUp event because the control is not visible yet. These include: ShowSort(), ShowContext(), GetSelectedItem(), GetNext(), GetPrevious() and AboutBox().
