Correct -- at least that would be the prefered method. A custom CFX tag in C++ could possibly do the trick for you but CF doesn't have events or even functions so firing off CF functions when the control receives an event is (or seems to be) impossible. You'd have to resort to a CFX tag which polls the satus of your VB control with some sort of acceptable delay to fake an event-driven type of model.
