To capture when a route has been calculated, use the RouteAfterCalculate event of the Map or MappointControl object.

Example

    Sub CalculateARoute()


  Dim objApp As New MapPoint.Application
  Dim objMap As MapPoint.Map
  Dim objRoute As MapPoint.Route


  'Set up the application
  Set objMap = objApp.ActiveMap
  Set objRoute = objMap.ActiveRoute
  objApp.Visible = True
  objApp.UserControl = True


  'Add route stops and calculate the route
  objRoute.Waypoints.Add objMap.FindResults("Seattle, WA").Item(1)
  objRoute.Waypoints.Add objMap.FindResults("Redmond, WA").Item(1)
  objRoute.Calculate 

  End Sub
