RAISEEVENT statement

Purpose | Call Event Handler code.
Syntax | RAISEEVENT ObjVar.Method()

Remarks

The RAISEEVENT statement is used to call event handler code from an Event Source. RAISEEVENT may only appear within a class which declares the Event Source interface. The concept of RAISEEVENT is very similar to the CALL statement, but it may only be used to execute event procedures:

RaiseEvent Status.Progress(10) ' advise the code is 10% done

It should be noted that RAISEEVENT does not reference an object variable at all, because it calls any and all Direct, V-Table event handlers which are currently subscribed to these events. Instead, it references the interface name (in this case "Status"), followed by the name of the Event Method to be executed (in this case "Progress"). If your program is using a Dispatch event handler you should use the OBJECT RAISEEVENT statement instead.
