THis is kind of hokey, but you can bind an event to fire a method by changing a property in the empty object. Paste the following code in a PRG and run it:

LOCAL o, x
o = NEWOBJECT('Empty')
ADDPROPERTY(o, 'FireInit')
x = NEWOBJECT('EmptyMethods')
BINDEVENT(o, 'FireInit', x, 'FireInit')
CLEAR
o.FireInit = .t.

DEFINE CLASS EmptyMethods AS Custom

	PROCEDURE FireInit
		WAIT WINDOW NOWAIT 'FireInit fired'
	ENDPROC
	PROCEDURE Release
		RELEASE THIS
	ENDPROC

ENDDEFINE
