Handling two events

I'm trying to get my Sub, named "Whatever" to handle the events raised by two separate controls: a button, and a toolbar. The toolbar is a custom one, and as a result, the signatures of the two are not the same.

Is there anything I can do so that "Whatever" can somehow handle both their events

Yup, just stick a comma at the end:

Handles Button1.Click, Button2.Click


All signatures are the same using:

ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs

They just impliment different version of them, and you can check which control is was, by looking at the "sender" value.

Unfortunately, the signature here isn't the same as it is for the button click. :(

Let me show you:

VB Code:

Public Sub Whatever(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.ToolClickEventArgs) Handles UltraToolbarsManager1.ToolClick
        If TypeOf e.Tool Is Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.PopupColorPickerTool Then
            Me.ForeColor = color1.SelectedColor
        End If
 
    End Sub

Here is the Sub I've created to handle the toolbar clicks. Now I need Button1 to actually call this with the proper 'arguments'

VB Code:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
'I have no idea what to put here
 
    End Sub

Now you see what's wrong? I'm still new to VB.NET, so please explain to me if I'm going about things the wrong way.

:afrog:

A blind shot .

VB Code:

'In Button1_Click  
 
Whatever(sender, DirectCast(e, Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.ToolClickEventArgs))

Hi,


Is it too easy to suggest the code for button1 as:

ToolBarButton.PerformClick


??

VB Code:

ByVal e As Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.ToolClickEventArgs

The class ToolClickEventArgs is an implementation class of EventArgs so any sub declared as:-

VB Code:

Private Sub CombinedEventHandler(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) 
 
    
 
    End Sub

Will work.

There is only 1 base event signature, and everything (as stated) is based on those, and you can just cast it to the one you need. But saying that, if you are trying to use the same event to handle two different controls, and you actually need specific info from the argument (well one of them), then are you sure you dont need two different events that call another procedure with the corrected arguments ?

you dumb frog! hehe jk
first, rename UltraWinToolbars to UWinToolbars (sounds better). so you'd have Infragistics.Win.UWinToolbars (+ you can rename Infragistics to Infrogistics)

second, do what merrion said;)
