Examples
The following code example uses the DoubleClick event of a ListBox to load text files listed in the ListBox into a TextBox control.
// This example uses the DoubleClick event of a ListBox to load text files
// listed in the ListBox into a TextBox control. This example
// assumes that the ListBox, named listBox1, contains a list of valid file
// names with path and that this event handler method
// is connected to the DoublClick event of a ListBox control named listBox1.
// This example requires code access permission to access files.
private:
void listBox1_DoubleClick( Object^ /*sender*/, System::EventArgs^ /*e*/ )
{
// Get the name of the file to open from the ListBox.
String^ file = listBox1->SelectedItem->ToString();
try
{
// Determine if the file exists before loading.
if ( System::IO::File::Exists( file ) )
{
// Open the file and use a TextReader to read the contents into the TextBox.
System::IO::FileInfo^ myFile = gcnew System::IO::FileInfo( listBox1->SelectedItem->ToString() );
System::IO::TextReader^ myData = myFile->OpenText();
;
textBox1->Text = myData->ReadToEnd();
myData->Close();
}
}
// Exception is thrown by the OpenText method of the FileInfo class.
catch ( System::IO::FileNotFoundException^ )
{
MessageBox::Show( "The file you specified does not exist." );
}
// Exception is thrown by the ReadToEnd method of the TextReader class.
catch ( System::IO::IOException^ )
{
MessageBox::Show( "There was a problem loading the file into the TextBox. Ensure that the file is a valid text file." );
}

Remarks
Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate. For more information, see Handling and Raising Events.
The OnDoubleClick 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 OnDoubleClick(EventArgs) in a derived class, be sure to call the base class's OnDoubleClick(EventArgs) method so that registered delegates receive the event.
