Language model

Attributes

cond : expression = true

This event handler will only be executed if this ECMAScript expression evaluates to true.

count : integer

The event handler should be run only when the counter associated with a menu, form, or form item is equal to the quantity specified by this attribute. In the case where there is no count value equal to the counter, then the error with the lowest count value, which is greater than the counter, will be selected. When the counter is greater than all count values, the catch with the highest count value will be selected.

Children

executable.content

The code to be run to handle the thrown event, assuming the conditions specified by the count and cond attributes are met.
