# IpcMainEvent Object extends `Event`

* `frameId` Integer - The ID of the renderer frame that sent this message
* `returnValue` any - Set this to the value to be returned in a synchronous message
* `sender` WebContents - Returns the `webContents` that sent the message
* `ports` MessagePortMain[] - A list of MessagePorts that were transferred with this message
* `reply` Function - A function that will send an IPC message to the renderer frame that sent the original message that you are currently handling.  You should use this method to "reply" to the sent message in order to guarantee the reply will go to the correct process and frame.
  * `channel` String
  * `...args` any[]
refactor: Split 'Event' docs/types into more specific Event types (#17038) * Event = Base event type (with preventDefault) * IpcMainEvent = Event that ipcMain emits (with sender, reply, etc.) * IpcRendererEvent = Event that ipcRenderer emits (with sender, senderId, etc.) * KeyboardEvent = Event that we emit with keyboard flags (ctrlKey, altKey, etc.) This will dramatically improve peoples TS experience with IPC events 2019-02-19 09:24:19 +00:00			# IpcMainEvent Object extends `Event`
