This component doesn't support this set of events (Error 459)

  • Article

Not every component supports client sinking of events. This error has the following cause and solution:

  • You tried to use a WithEvents variable with a component that can't work as an event source for the specified set of events. For example, you may be sinking events of an object, then create another object that Implements the first object. Although you might think you could sink the events from the implemented object, that isn't automatically the case. Implements only implements an interface for methods and properties. You can't sink events for a component that doesn't source events.

  • WithEvents isn't supported for Private UserControls, because the type-info needed to raise the ObjectEvent isn't available at runtime.
