AddEventHandler

AddEventHandler[obj@event, func]
assigns the specified Mathematica function func to be called when the given event event fires.

To use AddEventHandler, you first need to load .NET/Link using Needs["NETLink`"].

AddEventHandler can be used to wire up Mathematica callbacks for events in .NET user interfaces, such as a button click.

	SendDelegateArguments	All	which delegate arguments to send to the Mathematica event handler function
	CallsUnshare	False	whether or not your event handler function calls the advanced function UnshareKernel

The function argument can be a string, a symbol naming a Mathematica function, or a pure function, and it will be called with whatever arguments the event sends.

AddEventHandler returns a delegate object that can be passed to RemoveEventHandler to remove the callback function.

Alternatively, use NETNewDelegate to manually create a delegate and pass that as the second argument instead of the function.
