Access

VarAccess

The access level of the script (what
objects can call the script). Values are:

• Private!

• Public!

• Protected!

• System!

AliasName

String

The alias value for an external function.
The value is an empty string (“”) for scripts that are not aliased
external functions. Corresponds to the ALIAS FOR keyword
in the external function declaration.

ArgumentList

VariableDefinition

An unbounded array whose elements are
VariableDefinition objects, one object per argument. The array is
empty if there are no arguments.

ClassDefinition

PowerObject

An object of type PowerObject containing
information about the class definition of the object or control.

EventId

Long

The numeric event ID for an event. For
events that do not have an ID, the value is -1.

EventIdName

String

The event ID name for an event. For events
that do not have an ID, the value is an empty string (“”).

ExternalUser
Function

String

The file name of the DLL containing the
external user function. The value is an empty string (“”) for scripts
that are not external user functions. Corresponds to the LIBRARY keyword
in the external function declaration.

IsExternalEvent

Boolean

Indicates whether this is an external
event. External events are automatically generated events that get
dispatched elsewhere.

IsLocallyDefined

Boolean

Indicates whether the event is defined
at this level in the inheritance hierarchy. Values are:

• TRUE – The
  event is defined at this level of the object’s inheritance
  hierarchy.

• FALSE – The event is
  defined at an ancestor level.

IsLocallyDefined is not applicable to functions.

IsLocallyScripted

Boolean

Indicates whether the script is implemented
at this level in the inheritance hierarchy. Values are:

• TRUE – There
  is code for the event or function at this level of the object’s
  inheritance hierarchy.

• FALSE – There is no
  code for the event or function at this level.

IsRPCFunction

Boolean

Whether this is an RPC function. Values
are:

• TRUE – Is
  an RPC function.

• FALSE – Is not an RPC
  function.

Corresponds to the RPCFUNC keyword in a
declaration for a stored procedure.

IsScripted

Boolean

Whether the event has a definition but
no code at any level of the collapsed inheritance hierarchy. Values
are:

• TRUE – The
  event has a script at some level of the object’s inheritance
  hierarchy.

• FALSE – The event does
  not have a script.

Only events can be defined but not scripted. For functions, IsScripted
is always true.

Kind

ScriptKind

Whether the script is a function or event.
Values are:

• ScriptEvent!

• ScriptFunction!

LocalVariableList

VariableDefinition

An unbounded array whose elements are
VariableDefinition objects, one object per local variable. The array
is empty if there are no local variables.

Name

String

The name of the script.

ReturnType

TypeDefinition

The type information of the return value.
For scripts that do not return anything, ReturnType is an invalid
object. Use the IsValid function to test the
value.

Source

String

The source code for the script. Source
is an empty string (“”) if the source is not available (for example,
when running an executable).

SystemFunction

String

For built-in PowerBuilder functions,
the file name of the DLL containing the function. The value is an
empty string (“”) for scripts that are not built-in PowerBuilder
functions.

ClassName

String

Returns the name assigned to the object.

GetContextService

Integer

Creates a reference to a context-specific
instance of the specified service.

GetParent

PowerObject

Returns a reference to the name of the
parent object.

TypeOf

Object

Returns the type of the object.
