Raise event problem

[=?Utf-8?B?QW5kcmV3?=]

I have a vb.net 2005 app I am creating, I also have a separate user control
that I have created separate from the app.

On the control I have:

Namespace HLMultiSelect.F orms.Controls
Public Class HLMultiSelect

Inherits System.Windows. Forms.Control

Public Event ReportMouseStat us(ByVal bStatus As Boolean)

Private Sub HLSelectButton_ MouseEnter(ByVa l sender As Object, ByVal
e As System.EventArg s) Handles Me.MouseEnter
mMouseHover = True
Invalidate()

RaiseEvent ReportMouseStat us(True)

End Sub

Private Sub HLSelectButton_ MouseLeave(ByVa l sender As Object, ByVal
e As System.EventArg s) Handles Me.MouseLeave

mMouseHover = False
Invalidate()

RaiseEvent ReportMouseStat us(False)
End Sub

End Class

End Namespace

On the app that I am creating I have:

Imports HLMultiSelect.F orms.Controls
Public Class Form1

Public WithEvents sMouse As New HLMultiSelect
Private Sub sMouse_ReportMo useStatus(ByVal bStatus As Boolean) Handles
sMouse.ReportMo useStatus

MsgBox("hello")

End Sub

Id does not fire, am I missing something?

The only thing that calls the event is when the user puts the mouse over the
control.

Which never happens, because the control is not on a form, where the user to put
their mouse over it.

You could either put an instance of the control on Form1, and then handle that
instance's ReportMouseStat us event, or you can do as you have done, and then add
sMouse to the form's controls, using Me.Controls.Add . You will probably need to
give it a position and size, and make sure it is visible, if you go that way.

Re: Raise event problem

It is a control on a form, but I was able to solve the problem, I did not
make the Public Event ReportMouseStat us(ByVal bStatus As Boolean)
A shared event.

Thanks for the help..

That suggests to me that the control you are getting the event from (sMouse, the
one you created with New), is not the same as the one that actually picked up
the mouse (the one you have on the form).

If that is okay with you, it is fine, but if there is already a control on the
form, there is no need to create another one with New; just capture the event
from the one on the control.
