Control::OnDoubleClick Method (EventArgs^)

 

Raises the DoubleClick event.

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

protected:
virtual void OnDoubleClick(
	EventArgs^ e
)

Parameters

e
Type: System::EventArgs^

An EventArgs that contains the event data.

Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate. For more information, see Handling and Raising Events.

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

The following code example uses the DoubleClick event of a ListBox to load text files listed in the ListBox into a TextBox control.

   // This example uses the DoubleClick event of a ListBox to load text files
   // listed in the ListBox into a TextBox control. This example
   // assumes that the ListBox, named listBox1, contains a list of valid file
   // names with path and that this event handler method
   // is connected to the DoublClick event of a ListBox control named listBox1.
   // This example requires code access permission to access files.
private:
   void listBox1_DoubleClick( Object^ /*sender*/, System::EventArgs^ /*e*/ )
   {
      // Get the name of the file to open from the ListBox.
      String^ file = listBox1->SelectedItem->ToString();
      try
      {
         // Determine if the file exists before loading.
         if ( System::IO::File::Exists( file ) )
         {

            // Open the file and use a TextReader to read the contents into the TextBox.
            System::IO::FileInfo^ myFile = gcnew System::IO::FileInfo( listBox1->SelectedItem->ToString() );
            System::IO::TextReader^ myData = myFile->OpenText();
            ;
            textBox1->Text = myData->ReadToEnd();
            myData->Close();
         }
      }
      // Exception is thrown by the OpenText method of the FileInfo class.
      catch ( System::IO::FileNotFoundException^ ) 
      {
         MessageBox::Show( "The file you specified does not exist." );
      }
      // Exception is thrown by the ReadToEnd method of the TextReader class.
      catch ( System::IO::IOException^ ) 
      {
         MessageBox::Show( "There was a problem loading the file into the TextBox. Ensure that the file is a valid text file." );
      }
   }
