csharp.delphi event vs mfc ocx event

            client            ocx
ocx function        subject            (provide service)
ocx event        (for callback)        subject



1) event in CSharp/Delphi is only a funcion pointer, no concreate body,
but ocx event has a body, it used FireEvent to invoke the client application's event handler

//in ocx

void CMyOcxCtrl1Ctrl::OnMyEvent1(void)
{
    AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState());

    //client call back
    //Call CWinClientDlg::OnMyEvent1Myocxctrl1ctrl1()
    FireEvent(dispidOnMyEvent1, EVENT_PARAM(VTS_NONE));
}

// in client application

BEGIN_EVENTSINK_MAP(CWinClientDlg, CDialog)
    ON_EVENT(CWinClientDlg, IDC_MYOCXCTRL1CTRL1, 1, OnMyEvent1Myocxctrl1ctrl1, VTS_NONE)
END_EVENTSINK_MAP()

void CWinClientDlg::OnMyEvent1Myocxctrl1ctrl1()
{
    AfxMessageBox("CWinClientDlg::OnMyEvent1Myocxctrl1ctrl1()");
}


2) if you set some output parameter in event, you can query client application's data
(event is not only for client to define self-call back)
