This allows you to listen for specific events and call up the appropriate listener method. The CreateUnoListener function waits for the called listener interface and then passes the interface an object that the interface supports. This object is then passed to the method to register the listener.</paragraph> 47<paragraph role="heading" id="hd_id3148685" xml-lang="en-US" level="2" l10n="U" oldref="50">Syntax:</paragraph> 48<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3143228" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="U" oldref="49">oListener = CreateUnoListener( Prefixname, ListenerInterfaceName )</paragraph> 49<paragraph role="heading" id="hd_id3147574" xml-lang="en-US" level="2" l10n="U" oldref="48">Example:</paragraph> 50<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3154046" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="U" oldref="47">The following example is based on a Basic library object.</paragraph> 51<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3155136" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="U" oldref="46">Dim oListener</paragraph> 52<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3148944" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="U" oldref="45">oListener = CreateUnoListener( "ContListener_","com.sun.star.container.XContainerListener" )</paragraph> 53<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3149294" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="U" oldref="44">The CreateUnoListener method requires two parameters.
