VBC09322 — Event not defined

Severity: Error · Family: VBC (static semantics / abstract syntax tree) · Source metadata: VBCompileErrorInfo

A RaiseEvent statement names an event that the class module it is written in does not declare.

MS-VBAL §5.4.2.20 RaiseEvent Statement requires the statement to be defined inside a procedure of a class module, and its identifier to be the name of an event defined in that class module.

This code is raised by StatementStaticSemanticsEvaluator. The verbose detail names the event.

How it is raised

Situation	Example	Resolution
The class module declares no event of that name.	`RaiseEvent Opened` in a class that declares `Event Changed()`	Declare the event: `Public Event Opened()`. Or correct the name.
The statement is in a standard module, which declares no events.	`RaiseEvent Changed` in a standard module	Move the statement into the class module that declares the event.
The event is declared by another class module.	`RaiseEvent Changed` in `Sink`, where `Source` declares `Changed`	An event is raised by the class that declares it. A class that handles it declares a `WithEvents` variable of that class.

Notes

The name after RaiseEvent is an event name, not a variable. It is not looked up as one, and it is never reported as an undefined variable under Option Explicit.
