Beginning with event handlers in 3rd party software

Here is the situation. I have a piece of software used by the business for which I work. Inside of the software there is a creatable form which populates a database, similar to Access. One of the features of this software is the ability to add text fields, composite text fields, pictures, select boxes, and many other inputs and displays to the form. One of the items you can add to the form is a button. The button does nothing at all. It is just a blank button.

According to the help file, the button is useless with the SDK addon to the software. Ok, so I got the SDK. According to the SDK documentation, I can write event handlers in Visual Basic, and then register them in the software to control how the button reacts.

So now I have Visual Basic, the software in question, and the SDK. Can anybody steer me down the path at the end of which I will have a functioning button? I don't care if it prints 'Hello World' on the screen. I just need to know what the process is here.
