    That's not how event handlers are triggered.  An event is something that automatically happens by TestComplete.  The script code you created will be triggered when the event occurs.  Firing it manually as you have will not work as it is dependant upon particular objects being present.  When the event is fired, the LogParams object is created with all the proper fields and methods.

    If you followed the steps for generating the event and linking it, then your code should work simply when the event is triggered.

Question: Are you getting this error during the actual triggering of the event or are you running the routine independantly of the larger project?

 

What happens if you put a breakpoint on the line and investigate the LogParams object?

I am really new in this, for sure i am making a mistake somewhere, and i really need help.

I as already mention i was following the steps from this article https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/testing-with/advanced/handling-events/creating-handlers/for-testcomplete-events.html 

Firstly I had created a event for unexpected window and  then i had created a event handeler with code i've pasted above, and the event is used with a run script code in the keyword test. As a step where I suspeced the pop-up window will apear. 

I dont know how to get to this step to define a messageText for the LogParams as it is shown on the attached photo.
