What I'm trying to do is get my winform to display a debug line when ever I click in my winform. However, when I do, nothing happens. I know how to get a button / other click event to happen. But what I need is to be able to click anywhere within my winform.
I've googled this for the past hour but can't see what I'm doing wrong. As far as I'm aware, this code should be correct in detecting a mouse click. This method is held withing the form1.cs class:
private void mouseClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left)
Trace.WriteLine("Mouse clicked");
}
I've tried setting brake points, but these don't get triggered either. What is it I'm doing wrong?
Sorry for the stupidly newbie question, but I am very new to winform programming.
How to add the EventHandler:
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
// This line should you place in the InitializeComponent() method.
this.MouseClick += mouseClick;
}
Using the editor built-in to Visual Studio:
Go to the properties window (if you don't see it, press Alt + Enter).
Select the events icon (looks like lightning).
Double-click on the empty ComboBox to the right of Click.
You'll be taken to an empty method where you can put your code.
The method itself is correct. I think your actual problem is: you haven't added this method to MouseClick events.
In C# – and most other languages too – event is handled by an event handler. Windows forms and controls have events for all the events happening in your controls, such as OnClick or OnResize.
You can append methods to these events, and the methods will automatically get called when the actual event happens. Simply add the following line to your form's constructor, Form_Load-method, InitializeComponent-method, or such:
this.MouseClick += mouseClick;
Now when ever MouseClick event happens, your method mouseClick will be called automatically.
I would recommend reading Events C# Programming Guide. You need to add an event handler like so:
form1.MouseClick += mouseClick;

So, I would double click here on my designer
and it should create me the code, but well it doesn't. And there is no value changed event in the events either.
So if anyone knows how to fix this, it would be nice. (I doubt it) so how would I get around this? How would I go on about creating the code myself that should be created when I double click on it?
Click the form or control that you want to create an event handler for.
In the Properties window(F4), click the Events button
In the list of available events, click the event that you want to create an event handler for.
In the box to the right of the event name, type the name of the handler and press ENTER.
Add the appropriate code to the event handler.
To create an event handler in the code editor
Switch to the code editor by using one of the following techniques:
Create a new method like:
private void buttonName_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { ... }
In the file YourFormName.Designer.cs find your button and add
this.buttonName.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.buttonName_Click);
As the title suggests, I cannot get a single event to fire from an MDIChild application. No mouse event, no load, keypress, nothing at all.
private void btnSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{Console.WriteLine("Clicked");}
this.btnSave.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.btnSave_Click);
Selected the event from the properties window, manually subscribed to the event and yet nothing at all.
As the comments suggest you could insert a break point to see if these events are being fired.
From the information in your question it looks like the issue is that you're calling
Console.WriteLine
From a Winforms application.If you want to see somethng appear you could try
MessageBox.Show("Clicked")
Console applications would show Console.WriteLine, but the fact that you have buttons suggests a WinForms app.
I am trying to use the MouseClick event from the properties of a listView to handle left and right mouse clicks.
Unfortunately the event never seems to fire. (Double clicked on the event to create a property, entered a bit of simple code and placed a breakpoint on the first line). The same is true of several other events listed in the properties (ItemSelectionChanged seems to work but the other events I have tried don't fire.
Here is the code added:
In form.designer.cs:
this.listView1.MouseClick += new System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventHandler(this.listView1_MouseClick);
In form.cs:
private void listView1_MouseClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
Some code
}
That method never gets called when I click on the listview. The listview is inside a tab on top of the stack.
I guess I am probably forgetting something very basic but what?
ListView is a bit unusual, its MouseClick event doesn't fire unless you click an item in the view. Workaround is to use the MouseDown or MouseUp event instead. You typically are much more interested in the ItemSelectionChanged event btw. You probably need its HitTest() method to see exactly what was clicked if you use MouseDown/Up.
I was wonder how can I fire an event when the user double click on my webbrowser component. Since it has no such event how it could be possible...
Thanks in advance
Sounds like a WPF matter :-)
There you would go with an Behaviour attached to the browser. See this link for more information about this approach if you can alter your application (dependends on what you have done yet).
If you can't apply this solution, just bind a event handler to the click event and count click per time with respect to the mouse movement since the last click and if both conditions are true (two clicks in 0.2 secs, mouse hasn't moved more than 2px, for example) execute your double click code. The events you should use are previewMOUSEdown or MOUSEdown, not KEYdown.
// Call this where you want to create the event (let's say on the form load for example).
webBrowser1.DoubleClick += new EventHandler(webBrowser1_DoubleClick);
// This happens when the event is fired (so when you double click on the webbrowser control).
void webBrowser1_DoubleClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Code
}
Try this.
I don't know why you can't set this event via the designer :(, but this should work.
Could anyone please explain what and how this code below is doing/working?
RoleEnvironment.Chaning += RoleEnvironmentChaning;
private void RoleEnvironmentChanaing(object sender, RoleEnvironmentchaningnEventArgs e)
{
......
}
basically, if you could walk me through how event handling works in c#.net will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Let's forget about C# for a second and think about the following scenario.
You have a button on the screen that you want the user to click, you don't know when the user will click the button and neither do you want to check constantly if the user has clicked the button. What you want to do is run a bit of custom code when the user does eventually click on a button.
Welcome to events or delegates.
Let's take a look at the button.
The Button has a Click event that you can hook your custom code onto.
i.e.
//This happens in the designer
Button button = new Button();
button.Click += new EventHandler(YourMethod);
Your method will now be called once the button has been clicked.
What happens on Click of the button? Someone will check whether or not there are subscribers to the event
if(Click != null)
{
Click(this, someEventArguments);
}
Basically that's saying: whenever the RoleEnviroment decided to trigger the "changing" event, call that method. (I assume it should be Changing rather than Chaning or Chanaing as per your code.)
In other words, events in C# are an implementation of the publisher/subscriber or observer pattern.
See my article on events and delegates for more information.
