Name
EventExtendedStart – Activates the “event and action” defined in the buffer.
Input tests
- Refer to section 7.1: “Input Tests Common to all XPS Functions”.
- Event name to execute: (-8), (-40)
- Last event configuration in memory: (-80)
- Last action configuration in memory: (-81)
- Number of compositions in execution: (-82)
Description
Launches the configured event(s) and action(s) from the event configuration buffer into
the event scheduler and gets an event identifier. The identifier must be defined between
0 and 49, if its value is “–1” then that means it’s not defined.
If no event is configured in buffer, (-80) error is returned.
If no action is configured in buffer, (-81) error is returned.
NOTE
In the event scheduler, when a configured event has occurred it is deleted from the
event scheduler.
CAUTION
If the configured event is PERMANENT then it is not deleted after it
occurs, and must use the “EventExtendedRemove” function to delete it.
