Table of Event Attributes

Table of Event Attributes

The following table lists the attributes you can set for events. To specify a value for an attribute, assign the attribute value on the same line as the event key word. For example, all the events defined in the following events block have private ListenAccess and NotifyAccess attributes.

events (ListenAccess = 'private', NotifyAccess = 'private')
   anEvent
   anotherEvent
end

To define other events in the same class definition that have different attribute settings, create another events block.
