ScrollBar.OnValueChanged(EventArgs) Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.Windows.Forms

Assembly:

System.Windows.Forms.dll

Raises the ValueChanged event.

protected:
 virtual void OnValueChanged(EventArgs ^ e);

protected virtual void OnValueChanged (EventArgs e);

abstract member OnValueChanged : EventArgs -> unit
override this.OnValueChanged : EventArgs -> unit

Protected Overridable Sub OnValueChanged (e As EventArgs)

Parameters

e

EventArgs

An EventArgs that contains the event data.

Examples

The following code example uses the derived class VScrollBar. Event handlers for the Scroll and ValueChanged events are created. This code assumes that a Label and Button have been created on a form and that the button has an event handler for the Click event. When the button is clicked, the Value property of the scroll bar is adjusted in code. The label will display the current value of the Value property and the event that changed it. You will notice that when the scroll value is changed by the button's Click event, only the ValueChanged event is raised. In contrast, when the scroll bar is scrolled manually, the Scroll event is raised immediately after the ValueChanged event.

Remarks

Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate. For more information, see Handling and Raising Events.

The OnValueChanged 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 OnValueChanged(EventArgs) in a derived class, be sure to call the base class' OnValueChanged(EventArgs) method so that registered delegates receive the event.
