Logical data type. RAISEEVENT( ) always returns True (.T.).

Visual FoxPro automatically raises events for custom methods that are bound to objects using BINDEVENT( ) if the methods are called directly. For example, the following code does not raise an event:

	Copy Code
oForm.GetMyData(cData)

Instead, to raise an event for a custom method, you need to make the following call:

	Copy Code
RAISEEVENT( oForm, "GetMyData", cData )

You can also change this behavior by using BINDEVENT( ) with nFlags set to 2 or 3.

The event you wish to raise must be marked Public, not Hidden or Protected.

If you use RAISEEVENT( ) on a property, Visual FoxPro sets the property to itself. The following example sets the Caption property for _SCREEN to the current value for Caption:

	Copy Code
RAISEEVENT( _SCREEN, "Caption" )

Raising an event fails if you bind to an event, for example, using BINDEVENT( ), that has parameters that are passed by reference.

Visual FoxPro disregards recursive RAISEEVENT( ) calls to an event from within the same raised event.
