Cascading events down to child controls

I'm writing a Windows application for a client, and I've run into a problem
I don't know how to solve.

The UI is relatively simple - a listbox on the left (in a panel), and a
third-party tab control on the right (also in a panel). The usual splitter
bar, and all that good stuff. The tab control is set up to deal with
drag/drop events, so that users can drag an item from the listbox over the
tab control and have the tab control respond by either switching to the
appropriate tab page (if it's already created), or create a new one based on
the data dragged. The "guts" of the tab pages are in a single UserControl
that has all the functionality I need, and I create and add those
UserControls on the fly.

My problem is that, while I can easily set up the tab control to process the
drag/drop events, setting up the UserControl is not so easy. This
UserControl has several constituent controls, and since I'm adding the
control on the fly, I have to hook up the appropriate events on the fly as
well. But once a user drags the cursor over one of the constituent
controls, my on-the-fly-wired event doesn't see it, and the cursor changes
to the "you can't drop here" version.

How do I cascade the AddHandler wiring down to every constituent control in
the UserControl? I know that cascading events down the chain is technically
the wrong way, but I don't see how to set it up so that everything moves up.
What am I missing here?

TIA

Hello, I'm writing a small C# app, and part of what I'm trying to do involves the dragging of PictureBox controls on a form. Unfortunately, MouseMove seems to be behaving very oddly, causing spurious MouseMove events when the cursor doesn't actually move.

Hey guys, I am working on a web custom control that basically draws a table (ASP Table) with a few child controls in the cells. I have a command button inside one of these cells. The problem I am running into is that I cannot get the click event of this object handled. I have tried wiring the event with "AddHandler" among other things and that seems not to work neither.

I've noticed that controls that are contained in MDI child forms fail to raise MouseLeave events if the MDI child form's MdiParent property is set to Nothing (after it was set to an existing MDI container form) or if the MDI child form's Visible property is set to False (after the MDI child form was shown). This is an enormous problem for my app because I must show different MDI child forms based on the state of my application and many of the...

I have a problem I hope you folks can help me with. I have an application that is using a tab-based interface, with the ability for users to drag an item from a ListBox onto the tab control. This will create a new tab, put a new instance of the proper UserControl into the tab, and populate said UserControl with the data culled from the drop source. Because of the nature of this application, the particular UserControl that will be...

We've got a cascading delete being used in DB2. I've built new triggers under the parent/child tables in this cascading delete relationship. So when they delete the parent, and the cascade activity occurs, I had expected that the delete trigger on the child would always fire before the delete trigger on the parent. But I was wrong! They are firing parent-first child-second! This is causing me some concern because the sequence of the...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
