Catching Click Events on a Custom Control

[Mac via DotNetMonster.com]

Hi all,

In my VB windows application, I have created a User Control that contains a
few buttons and a text box. This control is then placed on several forms.

What I would like to do is capture the click event of each specific button
within the control at the form level, but I am not sure how this is achieved.

The events that I can see are directly linked to the whole control that is on
the form. How do I add an event handler at the form level for the controls
within this control?

Any help is appreciated.

regards,

Mac

Have solved it - Intellisense actually confused me. This what I did:

AddHandler Me.Grid33.WinButton1.Click, AddressOf grid33_winbutton1_click

Where grid33 is my custom control. The confusing thing was when I typed "Me."
it only brought up a list of events for the form. I actually realised I could
put in the name of the control I wanted from another piece of sample code.

Strike one for Intellisense.

Mac

There may be another way, but how I've seen it done is that you have
your user control define an event:

Public Event XYZButtonClicked(...)

then when your button is clicked in your user control, you fire off your
event which your form can catch.

Good Luck
