ToolBarButtonClickEventHandler Delegate

 

Represents the method that will handle the ButtonClick event of a ToolBar.

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

public delegate void ToolBarButtonClickEventHandler(
	Object^ sender,
	ToolBarButtonClickEventArgs^ e
)

Parameters

sender
Type: System::Object^

The source of the event.

e
Type: System.Windows.Forms::ToolBarButtonClickEventArgs^

A ToolBarButtonClickEventArgs that contains the event data.

When you create a ToolBarButtonClickEventHandler delegate, you identify the method that will handle the event. To associate the event with your event handler, add an instance of the delegate to the event. The event handler is called whenever the event occurs, unless you remove the delegate. For more information about handling events with delegates, see Handling and Raising Events.

The following example instantiates a ToolBar and three ToolBarButton controls. The toolbar buttons are assigned to the button collection, the collection is assigned to the toolbar, and the toolbar is added to the form. On the ButtonClick event of the toolbar, the Button property of the ToolBarButtonClickEventArgs is evaluated, and the appropriate dialog opened. This code assumes that a Form, an OpenFileDialog, a SaveFileDialog, and a PrintDialog have been instantiated.

public:
   void InitializeMyToolBar()
   {
      // Create and initialize the ToolBar and ToolBarButton controls.
      toolBar1 = gcnew ToolBar;
      ToolBarButton^ toolBarButton1 = gcnew ToolBarButton;
      ToolBarButton^ toolBarButton2 = gcnew ToolBarButton;
      ToolBarButton^ toolBarButton3 = gcnew ToolBarButton;

      // Set the Text properties of the ToolBarButton controls.
      toolBarButton1->Text = "Open";
      toolBarButton2->Text = "Save";
      toolBarButton3->Text = "Print";

      // Add the ToolBarButton controls to the ToolBar.
      toolBar1->Buttons->Add( toolBarButton1 );
      toolBar1->Buttons->Add( toolBarButton2 );
      toolBar1->Buttons->Add( toolBarButton3 );

      // Add the event-handler delegate.
      toolBar1->ButtonClick += gcnew ToolBarButtonClickEventHandler(
         this, &Form1::toolBar1_ButtonClick );

      // Add the ToolBar to the Form.
      Controls->Add( toolBar1 );
   }

private:
   void toolBar1_ButtonClick(
      Object^ sender,
      ToolBarButtonClickEventArgs^ e )
   {
      // Evaluate the Button property to determine which button was clicked.
      switch ( toolBar1->Buttons->IndexOf( e->Button ) )
      {
         case 0:
            openFileDialog1->ShowDialog();
            // Insert code to open the file.
            break;
         case 1:
            saveFileDialog1->ShowDialog();
            // Insert code to save the file.
            break;
         case 2:
            printDialog1->ShowDialog();
            // Insert code to print the file.    
            break;
      }
   }
