Why are events such as Resize, Click, DoublClick, etc. are not raised for a Windows Form?

[Emre Sevinc]

Hello,

I have a strange situation. I create a very simple Windows Forms
application and place the code below however even though I place
breakpoints in various event handling points VS.NET 2005 only enters
the breakpoint for the button but not for the form. Am I missing
something? Why don't the events for my form Form1 have any effect?

Form1.cs:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace GeciciResize
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}

private void Form1_Resize(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
// I place a breakpoint in the line below BUT it doesn't
enter here when I resize the form.
if (FormWindowState.Minimized == WindowState)
Form1.ActiveForm.Hide();
}


private void Form1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
// I place a breakpoint in the line below BUT it doesn't
enter here when I click on the form.
if (FormWindowState.Minimized == WindowState)
Form1.ActiveForm.Hide();
}

private void Form1_DoubleClick(object sender, System.EventArgs
e)
{
// I place a breakpoint in the line below BUT it doesn't
enter here when I double click on the form.
if (FormWindowState.Minimized == WindowState)
Form1.ActiveForm.Hide();
}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// I place a breakpoint in the line below AND it enters
here when I click on the button.
Form1.ActiveForm.Hide();
}
}
}

Let me guess, this used to work with Visual Basic?

You have to add event handlers:

In the main:
Form1.ActiveForm.Resize += new EventHandler(Form1_Resize);

_Then_ you can put code in Form1_Resize which will run when the form
is resized.

in case the event registration write under designer code, then maybe you
should clean the solution turn the solution to debug and rebuild the
solution, it will work.
