User Controls: Handling Events

[Quina]

Hi there.

I have a problem regarding an user control in which I need some help.
This user control should behave like a Button. The problem is that the
user control has child controls that cover it's entire area. So, when
I click the user control (myButton) the envents are listned by it's
child controls and not by the parent.

Is anyway possible to make the childs ignore thier events in order to
them be handled by myButon?

Thank you in advance.

Have the User Control subscribe to the events of the child controls, and
respond to them by raising its' own events.

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for your answer. But I'm bit confused here... I've already
readed somewhere a solution like the one you seggested but the problem
is that I dont know how to do this.

Whoul you be kind enought to give a few hint on this one? (links where
I can find some additional help or, perhaps a bit of code)

Best regards,

Quina

register all child control and main control to same handler.

e.g.

this.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.this_Click);
this.childContol1 += new System.EventHandler(this.this_Click);
this.childContol2 += new System.EventHandler(this.this_Click);
this.childContol3 += new System.EventHandler(this.this_Click);
this.childContol4 += new System.EventHandler(this.this_Click);
.....

Let me know if this doesn't solve you problem. There could be other
ways of doing this.

this.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.this_Click);

this.childContol1 += new System.EventHandler(this.this_Click);
this.childContol2 += new System.EventHandler(this.this_Click);
this.childContol3 += new System.EventHandler(this.this_Click);
this.childContol4 += new System.EventHandler(this.this_Click);

@quina: you can (recursiv) enumerate throgh all controls using x.controls to
add all handlers
@sa: Please post the alternative way. I would really like to know it other
possiblilitys to handle this

greets and thx
