No. The variable space for components is separate from the host database. So
the process variables “Modifiers” and “KeyCode” only live in the host and are
not eve defined in the component environment. Only thing you could do is pass
in the values of these variables into a shared method from the component.
You still have to call ON EVENT CALL from the host, but from that method on the
host it can call a shared component method. Something like this:
From somewhere in the host you do ON EVENT CALL(“OnEventCallMethod”)
Host method “OnEventCallMethod”
ComponentSharedMethod(Modifiers;KeyCode)
