IButtonControl.PerformClick Method

Definition

Generates a Click event for the control.

C#
public void PerformClick();

Examples

The following example inherits from the ButtonBase class and implements the IButtonControl interface. Implementation is added to the DialogResult property and the NotifyDefault and PerformClick methods.

C#
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Drawing;

public class MyButton : ButtonBase, IButtonControl
{
    private DialogResult myDialogResult;

    public MyButton()
    {
        // Make the button White and a Popup style
        // so it can be distinguished on the form.
        this.FlatStyle = FlatStyle.Popup;
        this.BackColor = Color.White;
    }
        
    // Add implementation to the IButtonControl.DialogResult property.
    public DialogResult DialogResult
    {
        get
        {
            return this.myDialogResult;
        }

        set
        {
            if(Enum.IsDefined(typeof(DialogResult), value))				
            {
                this.myDialogResult = value;
            }
        }	
    }

    // Add implementation to the IButtonControl.NotifyDefault method.
    public void NotifyDefault(bool value)
    {
        if(this.IsDefault != value)
        {
            this.IsDefault = value;
        }
    }

    // Add implementation to the IButtonControl.PerformClick method.
    public void PerformClick()
    {
        if(this.CanSelect)
        {
            this.OnClick(EventArgs.Empty);
        }
    }
}

Remarks

This method is called for the button that has focus, or for the default button (if no other button has focus) when the user presses the ENTER key. This method is also called when the user presses the ESC key if the button is set as the cancel button.
