PerformAction

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Occurs when the accessibility technology invokes an action.

[token = ]object.AddEventListener("PerformAction", eventhandlerFunction)

Arguments

AddEventListener Parameters

token

integer

A token that is returned from the function, which you can optionally retain as a variable. If you intend to call RemoveEventListener to remove the handler, you will need this token.

eventhandlerFunction

object

The name of your event handler function as it is defined in script. Quotation marks around the function name are not required. (See the "Remarks" section.)

Event Handler Parameters

sender

object

The object that invoked the event.

eventArgs

object

This parameter is always set to null.

Managed Equivalent

None. The managed API uses an entirely updated accessibility system. See Silverlight Accessibility Overview.

Remarks

You can also add handlers in script by using a quoted string for the event handler name, as follows:

object.addEventListener("PerformAction", "eventhandlerFunction")

This syntax also returns a token. However, the token is not an absolute requirement for removing the handler in cases where the handler was added by using a quoted string. For details, see RemoveEventListener.
