Changing Color of Textbox on Hovertextbox when the user hovers over it. In a Module I have the following routines: Public Sub Button_Hover(ByRef btnName As Button) btnName.BackColor = Color.BlanchedAlmond End Sub Public Sub Button_Leave(ByRef btnName As Button) btnName.BackColor = Color.Transparent End Sub ---------------------------------------------- I called the routines from the following code: Private Sub cmdTierCancel_MouseHover(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdTierCancel.MouseHover Button_Hover(cmdTierCancel) End Sub Private Sub cmdTierCancel_MouseLeave(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdTierCancel.MouseLeave Button_Leave(cmdTierCancel) End Sub --------------------------------- SO FAR SO GOOD. I thought it would be nice to use the Handles feature and call the routine like this: --------------------------------- Public Sub Handles_All_Buttons Handles(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) cmd1.MouseHover, cmd2.MouseHover, cmd3.MouseHover Button_Leave(sender) End Sub But this routine doesn't work. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks In the last routine, Button_Leave should be Button_Hover

I am interested. What makes it that you think nicer to use handles instead of .Net methods? Cor You want to show that you are a starting programmer or something like that?

create more code. Better for maintenance later on. Am I wrong? But that isn't the point. I would like to know how to do it, now that I have thought of it.

I have a routine in my base form that adds event handlers for mouseenter and mouseleave to textboxes. This changes the backcolor when the user enters the textbox, and changes it back when he leaves. I learned this from Deborah Kurata book, Doing Objects in VB2005 (just to give credit where credit is due). To do this, I cycle through the controls on my forms and use AddHandler to add the event handlers to each control. If I add new controls of that type to the form, they are automatically handled. If I remove controls from the form, that is automatically handled; I don't need to remove them from any Handles clauses. Also, all controls of the same type are handled the same way. I actually have this code in a base form, and all of my forms inherit from it. That way, I have the same behavior on every form in my application. (As one of my old teachers used to say, "Right or wrong, be consistent.") Here's the code. This is recursive to handle the cases where you have controls within controls, like textboxes within panels. I didn't try this out, but it's almost identical to my code that does the textboxes. In Form_Load, add this: AddEventHandlers(me) Private Sub AddEventHandlers(ByVal ctrlContainer As Control) For Each ctrl As Control In ctrlContainer.Controls If TypeOf ctrl Is Button Then 'When the MouseHover event is raised for this button, ' run the Button_Hover routine. AddHandler ctrl.MouseHover, AddressOf Button_Hover 'When the MouseLeave event is raised for this button, ' run the Button_Leave routine. AddHandler ctrl.MouseLeave, AddressOf Button_Leave End If 'if control has children, call this function recursively If ctrl.HasChildren Then AddEventHandlers(ctrl) End If Next End Sub Public Sub Button_Hover(ByVal sender as Object, _ ByVal e as System.EventArgs) DirectCast(sender, Control).BackColor = _ Color.BlanchedAlmond End Sub Public Sub Button_Leave(ByVal sender as Object, _ ByVal e as System.EventArgs) DirectCast(sender, Control).BackColor = _ Color.Transparent 'Note: you can also change this to one of ' the known colors, like the color of ' the buttonface: 'DirectCast(sender, Control).BackColor = _ ' Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.ButtonFace) End Sub What do you think?
