Code from Module

I created a Module with the following code. It compiled ok but I didn't bother to try and firing the event or passing the instance of the textbox to a form or anything.

Module MainMod
Public WithEvents text1 As New System.Windows.Forms.TextBox

Public Sub Main()

End Sub

Public Sub text1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles text1.DoubleClick

End Sub
