>>>Trying to understand the EventHandler() service. VFP HELP seems to indicate that the COM binded with cannot be a VFP object. The example shows an ADO Recordset bind. Could the event handler be bound to an ActiveX object event, like PROGESS BAR, etc.?

>>Any ActiveX is a COM object, so if it exposes events, they can be bound with EventHandler() or VFPCOM.DLL. There is a way to bind VFP objects. Not directly to VFP object though, but through another COM object (not VFP) which can raise the event on demand from VFP object. The result will be the same as if you could directly bind them.

I described all this in the article "Raise Events from your applications", FoxPro Advisor February 2001, with the samples. Another article about this waits its turn on Ken Levy's desk. :)
