Isn't it possible to place an Invoke in the function that fires the event?

Kurt wrote:

Hmm, I thought of making a DLL, so the users can double click the event in the property window and fill in individual code. But the user would be forced to use invoke.

We can use so many different controls in our projects and use their events without invoke. Do all those controls doesn't use asynchronous processes?
