# Type Property (DocContextChangeEvent Object)

A read-only property that returns a string containing the type of context change event that occurred when the OnContextChange event was triggered.

expression.Type

expression Required. An expression that returns a reference to the DocContextChangeEvent object.

## Security Level

2: Can be accessed only by forms running in the same domain as the currently open form, or by forms that have been granted cross-domain permissions.

## Remarks

As described in the OnContextChange event topic, the Type property returns only the value "ContextNode" for context changes in Microsoft InfoPath 2003 Service Pack 1. Nevertheless, if code in an event handler performs actions that depend on current functionality, that code should still be designed to check the value of the Type property, because future versions of InfoPath may use different values for different context changes.

Note This object model member is not supported when the Disable Service Pack features option on the Advanced tab of the Options dialog box in InfoPath is selected or when Microsoft Office 2003 Service Pack 1 or later is not installed. Any form that implements this object model member in its code will generate an error message if it is opened in InfoPath when service pack features are disabled or unavailable.
