AlarmTrigger Property

This property contains the time when the alarm is triggered.

Syntax

 caldav.getAlarmTrigger(index, [callback])
 caldav.setAlarmTrigger(index,  alarmTrigger, [callback])

Default Value

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getAlarmTrigger([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setAlarmTrigger([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This property contains the time when the alarm is triggered.

The AlarmTrigger is represented as a duration relative to the start of an event. The format is (+/-)P<date>T<time>. The date component may contain a number of days or weeks (but not months or years), and the time component may consist of hours, minutes, and seconds. These are represented by an integer value followed by a letter representing the units, as specified by the table below:


P	is the duration designator (historically called "period") placed at the start of the duration representation.
W	is the week designator that follows the value for the number of weeks.
D	is the day designator that follows the value for the number of days.
T	is the time designator that precedes the time components of the representation.
H	is the hour designator that follows the value for the number of hours.
M	is the minute designator that follows the value for the number of minutes.
S	is the second designator that follows the value for the number of seconds.

Either a positive or negative duration may be specified for the AlarmTrigger property. An alarm with a positive duration is triggered after the associated start of the event (or to-do). An alarm with a negative duration is triggered before the start of the event. For instance, the following code instructs an alarm to fire 10 minutes before the event starts:

  CalDAV.Alarm.Trigger = "-PT10M"

The size of the array is controlled by the AlarmCount property.

This property is not available at design time.
