### Description

The addEventListener function registers event listener functions on the TXTextControl object.

### Syntax

```javascript
<void> TXTextControl.addEventListener(<string> eventName, <function> callback)
```

### Examples

The following example shows how to attach an event handler to the "textFieldClicked" event:

```javascript
function fieldClickedHandler(e) {
    console.log("Field type: " + e.fieldType);
    console.log("Field name: " + e.fieldName);
    console.log("Merge field type: " + e.typeName);
}

TXTextControl.addEventListener("textFieldClicked", fieldClickedHandler);


Possible console output after clicking into a merge field:

> Field type: APPLICATIONFIELD
> Field name: SalesOrderID
> Merge field type: MERGEFIELD
```

The following example demonstrates `TXTextControl.addEventListener` in a practical document-editing workflow. The addEventListener function registers event listener functions on the TXTextControl object.

```javascript
TXTextControl.addEventListener(
    "textControlLoaded",
    function() {
        console.log("add event listener completed.");
    }
);
```
