How can I add an event handler to an event by name?
- by cyclotis04
I'm attempting to add an event handler for every control on my form. The form is a simple info box which pops up, and clicking anywhere on it does the same thing (sort of like Outlook's email notifier.) To do this, I've written a recursive method to add a MouseClick handler to each control, as follows:
private void AddMouseClickHandler(Control control, MouseEventHandler handler)
{
control.MouseClick += handler;
foreach (Control subControl in control.Controls)
AddMouseClickHandler(subControl, handler);
}
However, if I wanted to add a handler for all of the MouseDown and MouseUp events, I'd have to write two more methods. I'm sure there's a way around this, but I can't find it. I want a method like:
private void AddRecursiveHandler(Control control, Event event, EventHandler handler)
{
control.event += handler;
foreach (Control subControl in control.Controls)
AddRecursiveHandler(subControl, event, handler);
}
