TakeEvent, VIRTUAL, PROC
The TakeEvent method processes all window events and returns a value indicating whether ACCEPT loop processing is complete and should stop. TakeEvent returns Level:Benign to indicate processing of this event should continue normally; it returns Level:Notify to indicate processing is completed for this event and the ACCEPT loop should CYCLE; it returns Level:Fatal to indicate the event could not be processed and the ACCEPT loop should BREAK.
Implementation:
Return values are declared in ABERROR.INC.
The Ask method calls the TakeEvent method.
Return Data Type: BYTE
Example:
