How do I pass variables to a buttons event method?

Question

I need to be able to pass along two objects to the method being fired when I click a button. How do I do this?

So far I\'ve been looking at creating a changed E

Answer 1

Would need to see more code to give a better answer, but you could create an event that takes your CompArgs as a parameter and is fired when the buttonEvent is captured

Answer 2

I'd create a new Button and override the OnClick method. Rather than passing down the EventArgs, pass a new derived class in with your additional members.

On the delegate receiving the event, cast the given EventArgs to the more derived class you're expecting to get, alternatively setup a new Event that will be triggered at the same time when the button is pressed and hook up to that instead to make things more implicit.

Example Code:

 public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        ButtonEx b1 = new ButtonEx();
        b1.OnCustomClickEvent += new ButtonEx.OnCustomClickEventHandler(b1_OnCustomClickEvent);
    }

    void  b1_OnCustomClickEvent(object sender, ButtonEx.CustomEventArgs eventArgs)
    {
        string p1 = eventArgs.CustomProperty1;
        string p2 = eventArgs.CustomProperty2;
    }
}

public class ButtonEx : Button
{
    public class CustomEventArgs : EventArgs
    {
        public String CustomProperty1;
        public String CustomProperty2;
    }

    protected override void  OnClick(EventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnClick(e);
        if(OnCustomClickEvent != null)
        {
            OnCustomClickEvent(this, new CustomEventArgs());
        }
    }

    public event OnCustomClickEventHandler OnCustomClickEvent;
    public delegate void OnCustomClickEventHandler(object sender , CustomEventArgs eventArgs);
}
