FPCEventDefinitions Collection

The FPCEventDefinitions collection holds a set of FPCEventDefinition objects that represent all of the events defined in an Forefront TMG array. Events describe conditions that may require the attention of an administrator, and predetermined actions can be configured as a response to particular events in an alert (an FPCAlert object). Events can be signaled by Forefront TMG and its extensions (add-ins).

This collection is accessed through the EventDefinitions property of an FPCRuleElements object.

For a detailed programmtic example of using the FPCEventDefinitions collection to create a new event for signaling an alert in a Web filter, see Signaling Events and Alerts. For information about using events to signal alerts in application filters, see Using Events and Alerts.

Inheritance

This collection inherits from the FPCPersist object, which contains methods and properties related to the persistent storage of an object's data. They include methods for exporting the object's data to and importing it from an XML document.

Methods

The FPCEventDefinitions collection defines the following methods.

Method	Description
Add	Creates a new FPCEventDefinition object in the collection and returns a reference to it.
Item	Retrieves the requested FPCEventDefinition object from the collection.
ItemByGuid	Retrieves the requested FPCEventDefinition object from the collection according to the globally unique identifier (GUID) of its event.
Remove	Removes the specified FPCEventDefinition object from the collection.

Properties

The FPCEventDefinitions collection defines the following properties.

Property	Description
_NewEnum	Gets an enumerator object for the collection.
Count	Gets the number of FPCEventDefinition objects in the collection.

Methods Inherited from FPCPersist

Name	Description
CancelWaitForChanges	Cancels the registration established by the WaitForChanges method (for use in C and C++ programming only).
CanImport	Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the properties of the collection and its elements can be imported from the specified XML document.
Export	Writes the stored values of all the properties of the collection and its elements to the specified XML document.
ExportToFile	Writes the stored values of all the properties of the collection and its elements to the specified XML file.
GetServiceRestartMask	Retrieves a 32-bit bitmask of the FpcServices enumerated type that specifies which services need to be restarted for currently unsaved changes to take effect.
Import	Copies the values of all the properties of the collection and its elements from the specified XML document to persistent storage.
ImportFromFile	Copies the values of all the properties of the collection and its elements from the specified XML file to persistent storage.
LoadDocProperties	Provides the XML document's properties so that you can know what information can be imported from the document.
Refresh	Reads the values of all the properties of the collection and its elements from persistent storage, overwriting any changes that have not been saved.
Save	Writes the current values of all the properties of the collection and its elements to persistent storage.
WaitForChanges	Registers to wait for an event indicating that the contents of the object have changed (for use in C and C++ programming only).

Properties Inherited from FPCPersist

Name	Description
PersistentName	Gets the persistent name of the collection. The persistent name of an object is a name that is unique for the object at the respective level of the COM object hierarchy.
VendorParameterSets	Gets an FPCVendorParametersSets collection that can hold sets of custom data for extending the collection.

Interfaces for C++ Programming

This collection implements the IFPCEventDefinitions interface.

Requirements

Client	Requires Windows Vista or Windows XP.
Server	Requires Windows Server 2008.
Version	Requires Forefront Threat Management Gateway (TMG).
IDL	Declared in Msfpccom.idl.
