Event handling is not supported across a remote connection. Event mapping must
occur within the remote object. The remote object will not have access to any server
resources. At most, the remote event could pass a CTL back to the local server for
action. It is recommended that objects requiring event processing exist completely on
the remote and interact only with the local WindX session on the remote.
