. . :: . EventArgs
An EventArgs that contains the event data.
Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate. For more information, see Raising an Event.
The OnEnter 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 InheritorsWhen overriding OnEnter in a derived class, be sure to call the base class's OnEnter method so that registered delegates receive the event.
The following code example uses the Enter event to change the foreground and background colors of a TextBox under particular conditions.
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);
