Examples
The following code example uses the Enter event to change the foreground and background colors of a TextBox under particular conditions.
private:
void textBox1_Enter( Object^ /*sender*/, System::EventArgs^ /*e*/ )
{
// If the TextBox contains text, change its foreground and background colors.
if ( textBox1->Text != String::Empty )
{
textBox1->ForeColor = Color::Red;
textBox1->BackColor = Color::Black;
// Move the selection pointer to the end of the text of the control.
textBox1->Select(textBox1->Text->Length,0);
}
}
void textBox1_Leave( Object^ /*sender*/, System::EventArgs^ /*e*/ )
{
// Reset the colors and selection of the TextBox after focus is lost.
textBox1->ForeColor = Color::Black;
textBox1->BackColor = Color::White;
textBox1->Select(0,0);
}
private void textBox1_Enter(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
// If the TextBox contains text, change its foreground and background colors.
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(textBox1.Text))
{
textBox1.ForeColor = Color.Red;
textBox1.BackColor = Color.Black;
// Move the selection pointer to the end of the text of the control.
textBox1.Select(textBox1.Text.Length, 0);
}
}
private void textBox1_Leave(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
// Reset the colors and selection of the TextBox after focus is lost.
textBox1.ForeColor = Color.Black;
textBox1.BackColor = Color.White;
textBox1.Select(0,0);
}
Private Sub textBox1_Enter(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles textBox1.Enter
' If the TextBox contains text, change its foreground and background colors.
If textBox1.Text <> [String].Empty Then
textBox1.ForeColor = Color.Red
textBox1.BackColor = Color.Black
' Move the selection pointer to the end of the text of the control.
textBox1.Select(textBox1.Text.Length, 0)
End If
End Sub
Private Sub textBox1_Leave(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles textBox1.Leave
' Reset the colors and selection of the TextBox after focus is lost.
textBox1.ForeColor = Color.Black
textBox1.BackColor = Color.White
textBox1.Select(0, 0)
End Sub
End Class
Remarks
Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate. For more information, see Handling and Raising Events.
The OnEnter method also allows derived classes to handle the event without attaching a delegate. This is the preferred technique for handling the event in a derived class.
Notes to Inheritors
When overriding OnEnter(EventArgs) in a derived class, be sure to call the base class's OnEnter(EventArgs) method so that registered delegates receive the event.
