# UpcastElementEvent

typedef

Fired when an [`ViewElement`](module_engine_view_element-ViewElement.md) is converted.

`element` is a namespace event for a class of events. Names of actually called events follow the pattern of `element:<elementName>` where `elementName` is the name of the converted element. This way listeners may listen to a conversion of all or just specific elements.
