Question

Probably this is a naive question, but I didn’t find an answer.

I’m creating an UserControl (button like for Winform). Once I have it, I’m using it as a Collection in a Container (really is another UC inherited from Control. I place this container in a form and then I create programmatically a Collection of the “buttons” like this;

tMenu.Add(new TrevoButton(Test.Properties.Resources.Mapa, "Map", "MapaClick"));
tMenu.Add(new TrevoButton(Test.Properties.Resources.Inst, "Install", "InstaClick"));
tMenu.Add(new TrevoButton(Test.Properties.Resources.Mode, "Model", "ModelClick"));

The parameters are:

• Image (Image): image of the button
• Text (string): text of the button
• Event (string): name of the event to be fired when the “button” is clicked.

My question is that, given the event name, how do I do to assign it like a method for the button?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Found what I needed.

This is the ADD to the collection (no quotation marks at the third parameter):

tMenu.Add(new TrevoButton(Test.Properties.Resources.Mapa, "Mapa", MapaClick));

In the form (same place where I add the items), I’m defining “MapaClick” as:

  public void MapaClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
     MessageBox.Show("MapaClick");
  }

And then, the constructor of the UserControl receives an EventHandler parameter:

  public TrevoButton(Image pImagen, string pTexto, EventHandler pEvento)
  {
     Image = pImagen;
     Texto = pTexto;
     this.Click += new EventHandler(pEvento);
     Iniciar();
  }

That’s it. When I press the button, the message appears!
Thanks to @lAbstract. Your response put me in that way.
