No. Because you don't "send" events, you just raise and handle them.  So
a class can raise any event it wants to, other classes can handle events
(if they want to).

Translated:  "The button control raises the event "Click" when the mouse
button is clicked on it. Can a textarea control observe and handle the
button's Click event?"
The literal answer is "no" because the native textarea control does not
observe events from some "unheard-of" button.  However, you can create
your own textarea based control  that will observe such events and can
contain code to handle them.

> Is it possible to define own events?

Most assuredly yes.  But you have to do so in the class that will raise
them.

I have attached a little project that demonstrates the above.
By the way, this is all explained in the help under the topic "Gambas
Object Model" in section 2.
