What's the "trigger" for this event ?

Normally, you can't create "custom events" in VFP. However, in some situations, I have generated some obscure key code (ie. something > CHR(200)) and then responded to it in .Keypress(); it then "seemed" like a custom event.

There's also the old READ EVENTS "loop".

If your mainline is build around a ...

DO WHILE lQuit = .F.
   READ EVENTS
ENDDO

... then you can have a "case" within the DO loop that tests a "message queue" for any pending events prior to doing the READ EVENTS. Any time you need to handle a particular event, you stuff the info into the "message queue" and do a CLEAR EVENTS. The "case" handles the events until the queue is "empty"; eg.

DO WHILE lQuit = .F.
   DO CASE
   CASE cEvent = "Report"
      ...
   CASE cEvent = "New Form"
      ...
   OTHERWISE
      READ EVENTS
   ENDCASE
ENDDO

It's "sort of" the way Windows does "messaging" internally.
