How to pass event to method?
- by tomaszs
I would like to create a method that takes as a argument an event an adds eventHandler to it to handle it properly. Like this:
I have 2 events:
public event EventHandler Click;
public event EventHandler Click2;
Now i would like to pass particular event to my method like this (pseudocode):
public AttachToHandleEvent(EventHandler MyEvent)
{
MyEvent += Item_Click;
}
private void Item_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("lalala");
}
ToolStripMenuItem tool = new ToolStripMenuItem();
AttachToHandleEvent(tool.Click);
Is it possible or do I not understand it good?
Edit: I've noticed with help of you that this code worked fine, and returned to my project and noticed that when I pass event declared in my class it works, but when I pass event from other class id still does not work. Updated above example to reflect this issue.
What I get is this error:
The event
'System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem.Click'
can only appear on the left hand side
of += or -=
