Event handler

[poko]

I'd appreciate it if someone could help me out with this. Currently I am handling instances of the 'enter' key being pressed as:

this.txtBox1.KeyPress += new System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventHandler(this.MM_ KeyPress);

this.txtBox2.KeyPress += new System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventHandler(this.MM_ KeyPress);

where MM is the name of the form. I want it to work as:

this.txtBox1.KeyPress += new System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventHandler(this.MM_ KeyPress);

this.txtBox2.KeyPress += new System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventHandler(this.MM_ KeyPress2);

but I am not able to do so. When I build the project, "MM_KeyPress2" is automatically reverted to "MM_KeyPress". What is the way out.

That's weird... I just tried to reproduce this error and was unable to. I created the two event handlers and changed the one for the second text box and it worked just fine.

I wonder if it's intellisense getting you. Are you using Visual Studio? If so, which version?

Maybe when you go to change it, type slowly. If a little box pops up then Visual Studio (or whatever IDE you're using) has intellisense. Though it's strange that it's doing it when you build, not as you type.

Something else you can try... edit the file in notepad and make the change there. Then load up your project and build.... does it still change it?

Last question, does MM_KeyPress2 exist in your class?

Even i can't reproduce the error... Its fine for me.....

Yeah, check you have all the event handlers in your code.?

I am using Visual Studio 2008. And yes, MM_KeyPress2 exists in the class.

I have defined both MM_KeyPress1 & MM_KeyPress2 in my class. Before building and running the project, the code is:

this.txtBox1.KeyPress += new System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventHandler(this.MM_ KeyPress);

this.txtBox2.KeyPress += new System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventHandler(this.MM_ KeyPress2);

After I build and run the project, and then go back to the code, it automatically changes to:

this.txtBox1.KeyPress += new System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventHandler(this.MM_ KeyPress);

this.txtBox2.KeyPress += new System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventHandler(this.MM_ KeyPress);

I can't understand why is this happening. Guess its better to keep only MM_ KeyPress and differentiate between the two by identifying the sender.

You told MM_ KeyPress1 and MM_ KeyPress2 are defined then what is MM_ KeyPress in following code of yours.?

this.txtBox1.KeyPress += new System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventHandler(this.MM_ KeyPress);

I never said that MM_ KeyPress1 is defined.

Only MM_ KeyPress & MM_ KeyPress2

I am afraid,Just in the previous post you said that.

Try changing it outside of Visual Studio and then loading up the project. Does it change it back then?

If it does, try compiling with just the command line tools, it shouldn't make any code changes with that.

This is a very strange issue...

@ Dheeraj. Sorry, my mistake. Basically it can be MM_ KeyPress & MM_ KeyPress2 or MM_ KeyPress1 & MM_ KeyPress2. My point was that I am unable to keep both of them in the code.

@Gary. Yes, compiling at command line did help. Thanks a lot for the tip.
