Strange RaiseEvent Problem

[Martin]

Hi all,

I'm having a problem when trying to raise an event in my custom control when
a toolstripbutton enable state changes. The problem is that although the
code to raise the event executes, my handler never see it.

This executes when the button enable state changes:-

Private Sub OnPrintToolStri pButton_Enabled Changed(ByVal sender As Object,
ByVal e As System.EventArg s)Handles PrintToolStripB utton.EnabledCh anged
RaiseEvent PrintToolStripB utton_EnabledCh anged(sender, e)
End Sub ' This doesn't raise an event

When I step through the code, the raiseevent line executes but the debugger
doesn't jump to my handler.

If however, I raise the exact same event, but from a button click event,
then it works as expected and the event handler is run.

Private Sub Button1_Click(B yVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles Button1.Click
RaiseEvent PrintToolStripB utton_EnabledCh anged(sender, e)
End Sub ' This raises the event ok

This is my event handler code:
Private Sub MyControl_Print ToolStripButton _EnabledChanged (ByVal sender As
Object, ByVal e As System.EventArg s) Handles
MyControl.Print ToolStripButton _EnabledChanged
Me.Menu_Print.E nabled = MyControl.Print ToolStripButton .Enabled
End Sub

Has anyone encountered anything similar, or is able to point out my obvious
mistake?

Thanks for your time and kind regards,

Martin.

Well, it turned out to be a mistake in my code, so the solution was 'not to
make mistakes'. A little embarrassing really! lol
