class control-event% : class?
superclass: event%

A control-event% object contains information about a control event. An instance of control-event% is always provided to a control or menu item callback procedure.

> > constructor
> > (new control-event% |
> > |  | [event-type event-type] |
> > | [ | [time-stamp time-stamp]]) |
> → (is-a?/c control-event%)
> | event-type |  | : |  |
> (or/c 'button 'check-box 'choice
> 'list-box 'list-box-dclick 'list-box-column
> 'text-field 'text-field-enter
> 'menu 'slider 'radio-box 'tab-panel
> 'menu-popdown 'menu-popdown-none)
> time-stamp : exact-integer? = 0

The event-type argument is one of the following:

- 'button — for button% clicks

- 'check-box — for check-box% toggles

- 'choice — for choice% item selections

- 'list-box — for list-box% selections and deselections

- 'list-box-dclick — for list-box% double-clicks

- 'list-box-column — for list-box% column clicks in a column-control-event% instance

- 'text-field — for text-field% changes

- 'text-field-enter — for single-line text-field% Enter event

- 'menu — for selectable-menu-item<%> callbacks

- 'slider — for slider% changes

- 'radio-box — for radio-box% selection changes

- 'tab-panel — for tab-panel% tab changes

- 'menu-popdown — for popup-menu% callbacks (item selected)

- 'menu-popdown-none — for popup-menu% callbacks (no item selected)

This value is extracted out of a control-event% object with the get-event-type method.

See get-time-stamp for information about time-stamp.
