Overriding events...

I've got some descendent classes and I would like to be able to stop the
base class event from firing... How do I do that?

Hello!

You could to two things:

1. Override the method firing the event if it's marked as virtual
2. Declare a function with the same name and signature as "new", effectively
hiding the method in the base class.

Not quite sure exactly what you mean by base class event firing, but
virtually all standard events have virtual handlers in the base class. If
you override that handler and do not explicitly invoke it in your derived
class you accomplish what I think you want to accomplish.

For example, override OnPaint() in a form rather than implementing an
explicit event handler. The same technique can be used for your own events
and classes.

Hi, I have 3 questions regarding the code below: 1) Why can't I trap the KEYDOWN while I can trap KEYUP? 2) Is it correct that I use Return True within the IF-Statement? (I've already read the documentation but it is rather hard to understand so please don't refer to it :) 3) Many examples in the newsgroups use Return MyBase.ProcessKeyPreview(m) as the last code line while I have used Return MyBase.ProcessKeyEventArgs(m)

Hi, I've inherited the XmlDocument class to include some custom methods that I want to use on a particular XML file. I need to know whether the document has changed since being loaded, and I wanted to be clever and hook up to the events that are already defined in the XmlDocument class (i.e. NodeChanged, NodeInserted). I had presumed I would simply be able to override them, however I cannot

Hi, I have such problem: On my form I have TabControl. I want to move from one tab to another using "Next" and "Prev" button. This part works fine. But control also supports switching between TabPagess using combination of buttons Ctrl+Tab (forward) and Ctrl+Shift+Tab (back). I would like to suppress such possibility.

When you create a new C# project, Visual Studio creates a main form for you. If you double click it, the Visual Studio automatically adds an event handler for the form's Load event. Then you can insert codes into that method. But, you can also override the form's OnLoad method and put that code there, which results in the same result. Since VS.NET does in the first way, it is the recommended way? Is there any performance differences in...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
