After adding label to picturebox contols, events dont fire - C#












0















I'm having a weird behavior with a class i created inheriting from PictureBox;



its a class made to behave like a button (basiclly what i care about is the mouse enter, mouse leave, mouse down, mouse up events).



everything works perfectly until i add the TextLabel (code below) to the control of my customed class. it shows the label, centered and everything as i wanted but the events i mentioned before (and every other event in that matter) becomes disabled, for some reason it wont fire them.



would like to know what is the reason for that behavior and if there any fix for it.



public class RoundedButton : PictureBox
{
private readonly Image r_BasicImage = RoundedButtonCheck2.Properties.Resources.basicRoundedButtonIcon as Image;

this.MinimumSize = newSize;
this.Size = new Size(newSize.Width + MARGIN, newSize.Height + MARGIN);
LabelText.TextAlign = ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter;

}

    Quick guess: LabelText is gobbling up the events before RoundedButton can see them.

  • yea, it does works (from within the class). your guess was correct, yet its not a fix, first because it feels a bit upside-down, second because components that will use RoundedButton wont be able to subscribe to its events since the TextLabel is private and i dont wont it to be public...

    – tom01

  • You could just call the OnMouseDown method from the event of your label which will fire the MouseDown event that is public. I'm not sure there's a way to prevent the LabelText from eating up the events (I could be wrong though).
