I have a form that will contain several copies of a user control, what I want to do is that when within one of those user controls a button is clicked, an event of the form that contains it is launched.
I thought about saving a reference of the form in the constructor of the user control and thus be able to call any method of that form, but it seems to me an inelegant solution.
I would appreciate if someone can indicate to me some more elegant way of doing this.
You could do it by propagating events:
public partial class UserControl1 : UserControl
{
public delegate void ButtonClick(object sender, EventArgs e);
public event ButtonClick OnButtonClick;
public UserControl1()
{
InitializeComponent();
button1.Click += new EventHandler((sender, args) =>
{
OnButtonClick?.Invoke(this, null);
});
}
}
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
UserControl1 usrCtrl = new UserControl1();
usrCtrl.OnButtonClick += UsrCtrl_OnButtonClick;
this.Controls.Add(usrCtrl);
}
private void UsrCtrl_OnButtonClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Click en boton dentro del usercontrol");
}
}
