Control..::.OnCreateControl Method

Raises the CreateControl method.

Namespace: System.Windows.Forms
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic

Protected Overridable Sub OnCreateControl

protected virtual void OnCreateControl()

Visual C++

protected:
virtual void OnCreateControl()

abstract OnCreateControl : unit -> unit 
override OnCreateControl : unit -> unit

Remarks

The OnCreateControl method is called when the control is first created.

The OnCreateControl 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 OnCreateControl in a derived class, be sure to call the base class's OnCreateControl method so that registered delegates receive the event.
