new Event(target, type)
Create an event object. This is the internal constructor used when the viewer emits any event. This object describes the common attributes of all events. Augmented, event-specific, values can be found in the descriptions of each event. See IPCC.EventType for specific events.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
target |
IPCC.ViewerControl | The event target is the viewer where the event originated. |
type |
string | The name of the event type. |
Members
(readonly) target :IPCC.ViewerControl
Contains the instance of the viewer that fired the event. See also IPCC.Event#getTarget. _ECMA5 accessor property that is defined only in browsers supporting ECMA 5. This property is not available in the older browsers like IE8._
Type:
(readonly) type :string
Contains the type of event. See also IPCC.Event#getType. _ECMA5 accessor property that is defined only in browsers supporting ECMA 5. This property is not available in the older browsers like IE8._
Type:
- string
Methods
getTarget() → {IPCC.ViewerControl}
Gets the instance of the viewer that fired the event.
Returns:
- Type
- IPCC.ViewerControl
Example
var viewerObj;
function pageCountReadyHandler (event) {
console.log("page count ready event");
if(event.getTarget() !== viewerObj){
alert("The `pageCountReady` event did not originate from the expected instance of the viewer object");
}
}
//subscribe to the pageCountReady event
viewerObj = viewer.on(IPCC.EventType.PageCountReady, pageCountReadyHandler); getType() → {string}
Gets the name of the event type. This will be the same value as the `eventType` argument to the IPCC.ViewerControl#on function.
- See:
-
- IPCC.EventType for event types.
Returns:
a string containing event type.
- Type
- string
Example
function pageCountReadyHandler (event) {
console.log("page count ready event");
if(event.getType() !== IPCC.EventType.PageCountReady){
alert("The event type did not match");
}
}
//subscribe to the pageCountReady event
viewer.on(IPCC.EventType.PageCountReady, pageCountReadyHandler);Type Definitions
eventHandler(event)
The function to call when an event occurs. When the event is triggered, all subscribed event handlers are called.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
event |
IPCC.Event | A IPCC.Event object that represents the event. The event object is often augmented with properties which provide event specific information. |

Example
// Our event handler declaration.
// The handler will be called with one argument of type IPCC.Event.
function pageCountReadyEventHandler(event) {
var target = event.getTarget(), // `getTarget` is defined on every event object
type = event.getType(); // `getType` is defined on every event object
// The PageCountReady event augments the event object with property `pageCount`
var pageCount = event.pageCount;
}
// Subscribe the event handler to an event.
viewerControl.on("PageCountReady", pageCountReadyEventHandler);
