## Event class

The [`Event`](/svg/python-net/aspose.svg.dom.events/event) is used to provide contextual information about an event to the handler processing the event.



**Inheritance:** [`Event`](/svg/python-net/aspose.svg.dom.events/event) → 
[`DOMObject`](/svg/python-net/aspose.svg.dom/domobject)



The Event type exposes the following members:

### Constructors
| Constructor | Description |
| :- | :- |
| [__init__](/svg/python-net/aspose.svg.dom.events/event/__init__/#str) | Initializes a new instance of the [`Event`](/svg/python-net/aspose.svg.dom.events/event) class. |


### Properties
| Property | Description |
| :- | :- |
| [bubbles](/svg/python-net/aspose.svg.dom.events/event/bubbles) | Used to indicate whether or not an event is a bubbling event. If the event can bubble the value is true, else the value is false. |
| [cancelable](/svg/python-net/aspose.svg.dom.events/event/cancelable) | Used to indicate whether or not an event can have its default action prevented. If the default action can be prevented the value is true, else the value is false. |
| [current_target](/svg/python-net/aspose.svg.dom.events/event/current_target) | Used to indicate the [`IEventTarget`](/svg/python-net/aspose.svg.dom.events/ieventtarget) whose [`IEventListener`](/svg/python-net/aspose.svg.dom.events/ieventlistener)s are currently being processed.
<br/>This is particularly useful during capturing and bubbling. |
| [event_phase](/svg/python-net/aspose.svg.dom.events/event/event_phase) | Used to indicate which phase of event flow is currently being evaluated. |
| [target](/svg/python-net/aspose.svg.dom.events/event/target) | Used to indicate the [`IEventTarget`](/svg/python-net/aspose.svg.dom.events/ieventtarget) to which the event was originally dispatched. |
| [time_stamp](/svg/python-net/aspose.svg.dom.events/event/time_stamp) | Used to specify the time (in milliseconds relative to the epoch) at which the event was created.
<br/>Due to the fact that some systems may not provide this information the value of timeStamp may be not available for all events.
<br/>When not available, a value of 0 will be returned.
<br/>Examples of epoch time are the time of the system start or 0:0:0 UTC 1st January 1970. |
| [type](/svg/python-net/aspose.svg.dom.events/event/type) | The name of the event (case-insensitive). The name must be an XML name. |
| [default_prevented](/svg/python-net/aspose.svg.dom.events/event/default_prevented) | Returns true if preventDefault() was invoked while the cancelable attribute value is true, and false otherwise. |
| [is_trusted](/svg/python-net/aspose.svg.dom.events/event/is_trusted) | The isTrusted attribute must return the value it was initialized to. When an event is created the attribute must be initialized to false. |
| [NONE_PHASE](/svg/python-net/aspose.svg.dom.events/event/none_phase) | Events not currently dispatched are in this phase. |
| [CAPTURING_PHASE](/svg/python-net/aspose.svg.dom.events/event/capturing_phase) | The event is currently being evaluated at the target [`IEventTarget`](/svg/python-net/aspose.svg.dom.events/ieventtarget). |
| [AT_TARGET_PHASE](/svg/python-net/aspose.svg.dom.events/event/at_target_phase) | The current event phase is the capturing phase. |
| [BUBBLING_PHASE](/svg/python-net/aspose.svg.dom.events/event/bubbling_phase) | The current event phase is the bubbling phase. |


### Methods
| Method | Description |
| :- | :- |
| [get_platform_type](/svg/python-net/aspose.svg.dom.events/event/get_platform_type/#) | This method is used to retrieve the ECMAScript object Type. |
| [init_event](/svg/python-net/aspose.svg.dom.events/event/init_event/#str-bool-bool) | The [`Event.init_event`](/svg/python-net/aspose.svg.dom.events/event/init_event) method is used to initialize the value of an [`Event`](/svg/python-net/aspose.svg.dom.events/event) created through the
<br/>[`IDocumentEvent`](/svg/python-net/aspose.svg.dom.events/idocumentevent) interface. |
| [prevent_default](/svg/python-net/aspose.svg.dom.events/event/prevent_default/#) | If an event is cancelable, the [`Event.prevent_default`](/svg/python-net/aspose.svg.dom.events/event/prevent_default) method is used to signify that the event is to be canceled,
<br/>meaning any default action normally taken by the implementation as a result of the event will not occur. |
| [stop_propagation](/svg/python-net/aspose.svg.dom.events/event/stop_propagation/#) | The [`Event.stop_propagation`](/svg/python-net/aspose.svg.dom.events/event/stop_propagation) method is used prevent further propagation of an event during event flow. |
| [stop_immediate_propagation](/svg/python-net/aspose.svg.dom.events/event/stop_immediate_propagation/#) | Invoking this method prevents event from reaching any event listeners registered after the current one and when dispatched in a tree also prevents event from reaching any other objects. |



### Remarks 


An object which implements the [`Event`](/svg/python-net/aspose.svg.dom.events/event) is generally passed as the first parameter to an event handler.
More specific context information is passed to event handlers by deriving additional interfaces from [`Event`](/svg/python-net/aspose.svg.dom.events/event)  
which contain information directly relating to the type of event they accompany.
These derived interfaces are also implemented by the object passed to the event listener.
