The following Visual Components allow you to manage their commands: ImageViewer, ZoomViewer, DocumentViewer, TextEditor. See the list of available commands and the ways these commands can be used in each component:

The information about executing commands is reported through a special outgoing interfaces. These interfaces are ICommandEvents (for C++) and a dispinterface DICommandEvents (for Visual Basic).

It's worth noting that Visual Basic users should not care for details of event interfaces implementation as this development platform provides easy means for handling them. This object may be declared WithEvents in Visual Basic.

To receive notification events, a C++ user should create an object derived from the ICommandEvents interface, then set up the connection between it and events source implemented in Commands object by standard COM means.
