Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.

Represents the method that will handle the MeasureItem event of the ListBox, ComboBox, CheckedListBox, or MenuItem controls.

public delegate void MeasureItemEventHandler(System::Object ^ sender, MeasureItemEventArgs ^ e);

public delegate void MeasureItemEventHandler(object sender, MeasureItemEventArgs e);

public delegate void MeasureItemEventHandler(object? sender, MeasureItemEventArgs e);

type MeasureItemEventHandler = delegate of obj * MeasureItemEventArgs -> unit

Public Delegate Sub MeasureItemEventHandler(sender As Object, e As MeasureItemEventArgs)

Parameters

sender: Object

The source of the event.

e: MeasureItemEventArgs

A MeasureItemEventArgs that contains the event data.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates using the Graphics property to perform custom drawing of the items in a ListBox.

Remarks

When you create a MeasureItemEventHandler delegate, you identify the method that will handle the event. To associate the event with your event handler, add an instance of the delegate to the event. The event handler is called whenever the event occurs, unless you remove the delegate. For more information about event handler delegates, see Handling and Raising Events.

Extension Methods

GetMethodInfo(Delegate)

Gets an object that represents the method represented by the specified delegate.
