[2.0][3.0] OnMouseEvent for Buttons[RESOLVED]

[Rattlerr]

coming across a slight problem with the MouseEnter or MouseHover Events,cant seem to get the code correct...getting the BackColor of the Button to change when the Cursor goes over the button..

private void button1_OnMouseEnter(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnMouseEnter(e);
            if (button1.BackColor == Color.Black)
                button1.BackColor = Color.DarkBlue;
            else
                base.OnMouseLeave(e);
            button1.BackColor = Color.Black;
        }
// I'v tried this serveral different ways version 2
 
protected override void OnMouseEnter(EventArgs e)
 
{
 
base.OnMouseEnter(e);
 
button1.BackColor = Color.DarkBlue;
 
 
}
 
 
protected override void OnMouseLeave(EventArgs e)
 
{
 
base.OnMouseLeave(e);
 
button1.BackColor = Color.Black;
 
}

I also tried using the "protected override void"

Just had a quick play and i have no problem with just doing

		private void button1_MouseLeave(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
			this.button1.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.DarkBlue;
		}

		private void button1_MouseEnter(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
			this.button1.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black;
		}

So are you trying to handle the events of a standard Button on a form or are you trying to create a custom Button class? If you're handling events of a standard Button on a form then you should add the code that FishCake posted to the form. If you're trying to create a custom Button class then its code should look something like this:

class MyButton : System.Windows.Forms.Button
{
    protected override void OnMouseEnter(EventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnMouseEnter(e);
        this.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Blue;
    }

    protected override void OnMouseLeave(EventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnMouseLeave(e);
        this.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black;
    }
}
