That's right. You need to make the event handler assignment at runtime. <br />

I was able to define the event handlers upon execution using the second half of your answer. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I tried setting up as described in the first half but never got it to work. &nbsp;It made sense and I went back to check my setup but then ran out of time for further testing. &nbsp;I will probably come back to this when more free time is available so I would be interested if this is a tested solution or a theory.<br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have event handler code in one form of an application that I would like to use for a component event in another form of the application. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Each of the forms lists each other in the uses statement. but I can't see handlers from the other form in an event dropdown in the object inspector and if I type in the name of the procedure (&lt;other_form_name&gt;.&lt;proc_n<wbr />ame&gt;) I receive an IDE error that the name is not a valid identifier.<br />

Thanks.

How to share an event handler between forms?
