How do I make an Event in the Usercontrol and have it handled in the Main Form

Question

I have a custom usercontrol and I want to do something relatively simple   When ever a numeric up down in that usercontrol s value changes  have the main form update a display window   This is not a problem if the NUD was not in a usercontrol but I can t seem to figure out how to have the event handled by the mainform and not the usercontrol

you can do like this     the below example shows text box user control  value changed         Declare a delegate  public delegate void ValueChangedEventHandler object sender  ValueChangedEventArgs e   public partial class SampleUserControl   TextBox            public SampleUserControl                   InitializeComponent                   Declare an event      public event ValueChangedEventHandler ValueChanged       protected virtual void OnValueChanged ValueChangedEventArgs e                  if  ValueChanged    null               ValueChanged this e                  private void SampleUserControl TextChanged object sender  EventArgs e                  TextBox tb     TextBox sender           int value           if   int TryParse tb Text  out value                value   0              Raise the event         OnValueChanged  new ValueChangedEventArgs value

You need to create an event handler for the user control that is raised when an event from within the user control is fired  This will allow you to bubble the event up the chain so you can handle the event from the form    When clicking Button1 on the UserControl  i ll fire Button1 Click which triggers UserControl ButtonClick on the form   User control    Browsable true    Category  Action      Description  Invoked when user clicks button    public event EventHandler ButtonClick   protected void Button1 Click object sender  EventArgs e          bubble the event up to the parent     if  this ButtonClick   null          this ButtonClick this  e                      Form   UserControl1 ButtonClick    new EventHandler UserControl ButtonClick    protected void UserControl ButtonClick object sender  EventArgs e          handle the event      Notes     Newer Visual Studio versions suggest that instead of if  this ButtonClick   null  this ButtonClick this  e   you can use ButtonClick  Invoke this  e    which does essentially the same  but is shorter   The Browsable attribute makes the event visible in Visual Studio s designer  events view   Category shows it in the  Action  category  and Description provides a description for it  You can omit these attributes completely  but making it available to the designer it is much more comfortable  since VS handles it for you

one of the easy way to do that is use landa function without any problem like  userControl Material1 simpleButton4 Click     s  ee    gt                                Save mat mat global

Try mapping it   Try placing this code in your UserControl   public event EventHandler ValueChanged     add   numericUpDown1 ValueChanged    value      remove   numericUpDown1 ValueChanged -  value        then your UserControl will have the ValueChanged event you normally see with the NumericUpDown control
