        <p>The interface allows managing of scripts associated with dependent components, accessed by index.

        the container aspect of the <type scope="com::sun::star::script">XEventAttacherManager</type>

        you put into it with the scripting information obtained at the
        <type scope="com::sun::star::script">XEventAttacherManager</type> interface.</p>

        <p>For instance, at any time you can obtain the events associated with the <code>n</code><super>th</super>
        element in the form components by calling
        <member scope="com::sun::star::script">XEventAttacherManager::getScriptEvents</member>
        with parameter <code>n</code>. In particular, this invariant is always met, even after you
        inserted/removed elements into/from the container.</p>
