Description

Description:

Add an event handler (User Interface Event Handlers) to the given control. Returns id of the handler or -1 when failed.

⚠

Control EHs are processed in reversed order, i.e. last added: first, first added: last. So if you have an override it should be set up in the 1st added EH.

⚠

When using the event names listed here with the ctrlAddEventHandler, ctrlSetEventHandler, displayAddEventHandler or displaySetEventHandler commands, the prefix "on" in the event name must be removed (e.g. 'ButtonDown' instead of 'onButtonDown').
