Question

According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.linklabel.aspx, the LinkLabel class has both a Click event inherited from System.Windows.Forms.Control and a LinkClicked event. From my understanding, Click event will trigger the LinkClicked event.

Why on earth have a LinkClicked event?? What’s wrong with the Click event? Are there other ways to trigger LinkClicked besides clicking?

Answer 1

Click will be raised if you click anywhere in the control. LinkClicked will be raised only if you click on a link area. Click will be raised in both cases (before LinkClicked if you click on a link).
