Event with Handler Method in Different Class

Event can be raised by event handler method which is declared in another class. Here we can metion an event in a class and want to handle that event in another class. In that case we need to declare the triggering method in the first class.

In the following program we have defined a class cls1 where in the public section we have declared data v_cls1, event evnt and method trig. In the implementation part we have implemented the method trig with raising event evnt. We have to declare the triggering method trig in class cls1 because the event evnt is in cls1.

Next we have declared another class cls2 and in the public section we are declaring a data and the event handler method evnthand for event evnt of class cls1. Now in the implementation part we have implemented the evnthand properly. 

Finally in the start of selection we have instantiated the class cls1 and cls2. Now we are calling set handler method evnthand for object of class cls1. Then we call the method trig by object of class cls1.
