“This” Object Reference

Instead of using TheApplication().ActiveXXX() method, it is recommended that you use the “this” object reference. This is essentially eScript shorthand for the current object of the event handler, rather than the active object. For example, in the BC event handlers, this refers to the BC of the event that the code is placed in. If it is absolutely necessary to use the Activexxx reference at run-time, you must consider the possibility that the script may be executed outside of the UI (e.g. through COM, CORBA or JDB).
Some acceptable uses of ActiveBusObject() include:
• Use in business services to retrieve the current UI context.
• Use on applet level code, although this.BusObject() works just as well.
