Raises the Leave event.
Protected Overridable Sub OnLeave ( _ e As EventArgs _ )
protected virtual void OnLeave( EventArgs e )
protected: virtual void OnLeave( EventArgs^ e )
abstract OnLeave : e:EventArgs -> unit override OnLeave : e:EventArgs -> unit
Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate. For more information, see Raising an Event.
The OnLeave 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.
When overriding OnLeave in a derived class, be sure to call the base class's OnLeave method so that registered delegates receive the event.
The following code example uses the Leave event to reset a control to its former state.
Private Sub textBox1_Enter(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles textBox1.Enter ' If the TextBox contains text, change its foreground and background colors. If textBox1.Text <> [String].Empty Then textBox1.ForeColor = Color.Red textBox1.BackColor = Color.Black ' Move the selection pointer to the end of the text of the control. textBox1.Select(textBox1.Text.Length, 0) End If End Sub 'textBox1_Enter Private Sub textBox1_Leave(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles textBox1.Leave ' Reset the colors and selection of the TextBox after focus is lost. textBox1.ForeColor = Color.Black textBox1.BackColor = Color.White textBox1.Select(0, 0) End Sub 'textBox1_Leave End Class 'Form1
private void textBox1_Enter(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { // If the TextBox contains text, change its foreground and background colors. if (textBox1.Text != String.Empty) { textBox1.ForeColor = Color.Red; textBox1.BackColor = Color.Black; // Move the selection pointer to the end of the text of the control. textBox1.Select(textBox1.Text.Length, 0); } } private void textBox1_Leave(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { // Reset the colors and selection of the TextBox after focus is lost. textBox1.ForeColor = Color.Black; textBox1.BackColor = Color.White; textBox1.Select(0,0); }
private: void textBox1_Enter( Object^ /*sender*/, System::EventArgs^ /*e*/ ) { // If the TextBox contains text, change its foreground and background colors. if ( textBox1->Text != String::Empty ) { textBox1->ForeColor = Color::Red; textBox1->BackColor = Color::Black; // Move the selection pointer to the end of the text of the control. textBox1->Select(textBox1->Text->Length,0); } } void textBox1_Leave( Object^ /*sender*/, System::EventArgs^ /*e*/ ) { // Reset the colors and selection of the TextBox after focus is lost. textBox1->ForeColor = Color::Black; textBox1->BackColor = Color::White; textBox1->Select(0,0); }
