Examples

The following code example shows the Click event in an event handler.

   // This example uses the Parent property and the Find method of Control to set
   // properties on the parent control of a Button and its Form. The example assumes
   // that a Button control named button1 is located within a GroupBox control. The 
   // example also assumes that the Click event of the Button control is connected to
   // the event handler method defined in the example.
private:
   void button1_Click( Object^ /*sender*/, System::EventArgs^ /*e*/ )
   {
      // Get the control the Button control is located in. In this case a GroupBox.
      Control^ control = button1->Parent;
      
      // Set the text and backcolor of the parent control.
      control->Text = "My Groupbox";
      control->BackColor = Color::Blue;
      
      // Get the form that the Button control is contained within.
      Form^ myForm = button1->FindForm();
      
      // Set the text and color of the form containing the Button.
      myForm->Text = "The Form of My Control";
      myForm->BackColor = Color::Red;
   }

// This example uses the Parent property and the Find method of Control to set
// properties on the parent control of a Button and its Form. The example assumes
// that a Button control named button1 is located within a GroupBox control. The 
// example also assumes that the Click event of the Button control is connected to
// the event handler method defined in the example.
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
   // Get the control the Button control is located in. In this case a GroupBox.
   Control control = button1.Parent;
   // Set the text and backcolor of the parent control.
   control.Text = "My Groupbox";
   control.BackColor = Color.Blue;
   // Get the form that the Button control is contained within.
   Form myForm = button1.FindForm();
   // Set the text and color of the form containing the Button.
   myForm.Text = "The Form of My Control";
   myForm.BackColor = Color.Red;
}

   ' Set the text and color of the form containing the Button.

   myForm.BackColor = Color.Red
End Sub

Remarks

The Click event passes an EventArgs to its event handler, so it only indicates that a click has occurred. If you need more specific mouse information (button, number of clicks, wheel rotation, or location), use the MouseClick event. However, the MouseClick event will not be raised if the click is caused by action other than that of the mouse, such as pressing the ENTER key.

A double-click is determined by the mouse settings of the user's operating system. The user can set the time between clicks of a mouse button that should be considered a double-click rather than two clicks. The Click event is raised every time a control is double-clicked. For example, if you have event handlers for the Click and DoubleClick events of a Form, the Click and DoubleClick events are raised when the form is double-clicked and both methods are called. If a control is double-clicked and that control does not support the DoubleClick event, the Click event might be raised twice.

You must set the StandardClick value of ControlStyles to true for this event to be raised.

Note

The following events are not raised for the TabControl class unless there is at least one TabPage in the TabControl.TabPages collection: Click, DoubleClick, MouseDown, MouseUp, MouseHover, MouseEnter, MouseLeave and MouseMove. If there is at least one TabPage in the collection, and the user interacts with the tab control's header (where the TabPage names appear), the TabControl raises the appropriate event. However, if the user interaction is within the client area of the tab page, the TabPage raises the appropriate event.

For more information about handling events, see Handling and Raising Events.

Notes to inheritors

Inheriting from a standard Windows Forms control and changing the StandardClick or StandardDoubleClick values of ControlStyles to true can cause unexpected behavior or have no effect at all if the control does not support the Click or DoubleClick events.
