(Inherited from Event.)
Public propertyMessage
A dword representing the Windows API message associated with the given event.

Remarks
An ExposeEvent occurs when a window is: First shown Moved or closed Moving or closing a window exposes the area underneath the window; if any other windows are in this newly exposed area, they need to be repainted. The system automatically sends these window(s) an ExposeEvent to notify them that they must repaint the area that was uncovered. Resized The ExposeEvent goes to the Window:Expose() event handler with the responsibility for repainting the exposed area. You should place your own code in this event handler if you want your application to do something when its window is exposed.
Examples
The following example prints different messages, depending on what part of the window has been exposed:
X#
1METHOD Expose(oEE) CLASS MyWindow
2LOCAL oBB AS BOUNDINGBOX
3oBB := oEE:ExposedArea
4IF oBB:Bottom() < 20
5SELF:TextPrint("In the 20's",Point{0,20})
6ENDIF
7IF oBB:Bottom() > 40
8SELF:TextPrint("In the 40's",Point{0,40})
9ENDIF
