Now you're talking about two completely different things here...

One COM objects can expose events, and two VFP can fire internal events
(which aren't really events, just message hooks).

VFPCOM only hooks real COM events not any internal events. Furthermore
VFP COM is a COM Object itself and can work with any tool besides VFP.
You can use VFPCOM in an ASP page for example to hook event of another
object. ASP (and VBScript in general) like VFP doesn't sink events either.

VFPCOM is a pretty slick tool in that respect. It gives event sinking
capability to any COM tool that doesn't support event trapping.
