Abstract: A method for programming an application function through connection of a plurality of event-driven-type function blocks each composed of a data processing block and an event processing block. The method comprises a first processing step and a second processing step. When a first data signal line is set in order to establish a connection between first and second event-driven-type function blocks, the first processing step is performed in order to set a first variable area corresponding to the established connection and adapted for data transfer. In the second processing step, a pointer for pointing to the first variable area is allocated to each of the first and second event-driven-type function blocks so that the first and second event-driven-type function blocks output data to and input data from the first variable area.
