I am a total newbie to VB Programming, so please bare with me.... &nbsp;I have a program, and when a particular thing occurs, I want an event to be Raised(so that another program knows to do something). &nbsp;How do I raise an event(that isn't something like onclick().) &nbsp;Now, how can I have another vb program listen for this event, and carry out some actions if this event is actually raised?<br />
Thanks, hope this makes sense.<br />

How to use Events??

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
