Finding/calling events of a control

Is there a way to find out which events are attached to a control (say
'validating' event for a textbox) and call the event?

What are you trying to accomplish? Are you trying to add controls
dynamically?

Tosch,

When you have instanced controls in your programs withevents (or draged them
on your form)

Than you can see them in the code part, when you select them in the
dropdownbox left above in the dropdownbox on the right. This for VB2002/2003
in VB2005 it will be as in C#.

I hope this helps?

No, I'm having a number of forms with any number of controls on them.
Which controls are on the form is defined in a seperate program.

With some functions in my program I have to fill some of the controls
with values and want to call the validate event because some validate
events may cause other controls to be calculated.

I don't know of a way to iterate through a controls current events. Not
that there isn't a way.

Is this "separate program" that defines which controls are on the form your
code? What about adding a method to the controls to handle the accepting of
the values so that it can validate itself? Something akin to this:

'*****Poor Written Pseudo Code
SomeControl as TextBox
Public Property FillValue(..)
.Text = Value
SomeControl_Val idate()
End Sub

Hi I want to find out what objects are due to receive an event i.e. those that have added themselves as an event handler via +=. Yes, it's a little pointless perhaps (or can anyone give some good uses for this?!!). How do I do this for an event on a class I implement? Also, how may I do this for an event in the .Net framework e.g. a control?

I need to call a method on an owned child form, and am wondering if the best way of doing this is to capture the Closing event of the form that passes control back to the form where I have the method. The structure is like so: frmMain (MDI, runs on app start) calls frmB (MDI child), which in turn calls frmC (MDI child), which in turn calls frmD (MDI child). frmMain and frmB remain open while frmC and frmD are shown.
