Events ​
Various functionalities of the ADOxx platform trigger events, e.g. loading a model, create an instance, edit an attribute value etc. These events can be processed by event handlers, which are AdoScripts that executed when certain events occurs. This allows to listen to events that result from the interaction with of the modelling toolkit and handle / trigger operations based on them. Depending on the event, a certain set of parameters/variables are predefined to be used during the implementation of the actual handler. The implementation is done in the Library Attribute "Add Ons" of the dynamic library.
An example for an event handler:
ON_EVENT "AppInitialized" {
# Do something when the application is initialized ...
}The events are categorized after their place of activity:
- Application
- Core
- Drawing
- ImportExport
- Modeling
- Simulation
Application Events ​

This event is triggered before the application is going to shut down. This Event Handler has no parameters.
AppInitialized (Application)
This event is triggered after the initialization of the application is finished. This Event Handler has no parameters.
ChangeComponent (Application)
This event is triggered after the user changed the active ADOxx component. The parameter old contains the number of the old component and new the number of the new component.
