Visual Basic (Usage)

protected virtual void OnCreateControl()

virtual void OnCreateControl()

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.
