Control EventHandler

This eventhandler can only be added to WebBrowser controls

JSDialog

• Use on: Control (CT_WEBBROWSER)
• Fired on: Fires when Javascript triggers a alert() or confirm() dialog.
• Returns: Display or control, for controls it also returns the control's config (since 1.56).

params ["_control", "_isConfirmDialog", "_message"];

The code handling this event can return a Boolean true/false. Which will stop the next Eventhandlers from being triggered, and will be interpreted as a reply to the dialog.
If the code does not immediately provide a reply, it should return Nothing.
If the code does not return bool, then the script must call ctrlWebBrowserAction with the "JSDialog" action to reply to the dialog, the WebBrowser will be unresponsive until a reply has been sent.

Default Classes

AddOns: Classes need to be initialised first with class SomeClass;

---

Missions: Since Arma 3 v2.02 one can use import SomeClass; to initialise a class (see the import keyword).

In older versions, use "Default" call BIS_fnc_exportGUIBaseClasses; and paste the result into the description.ext.
