After you define a user event, you must write the script that PowerBuilder will execute when that user event is triggered. If it is an unmapped user event, you also write the code that will trigger the user event.
User events display in alphabetical order in the Event List view and the event list box in the Script view, along with the predefined events. As with predefined events, the script tells PowerBuilder what processing to perform when the user event occurs.
If the user event is not mapped to a Windows message (that is, if there is no event ID associated with it), you must trigger the event in a script. You can trigger the user event in an object using the EVENT syntax. For information about calling events, see the PowerScript Reference.
