Shape.OnParentChanged Method

Raises the ParentChanged event.

Namespace:  Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks
Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs (in Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Protected Overridable Sub OnParentChanged ( _
    e As EventArgs _
)

protected virtual void OnParentChanged(
    EventArgs e
)

protected:
virtual void OnParentChanged(
    EventArgs^ e
)

abstract OnParentChanged : 
        e:EventArgs -> unit  
override OnParentChanged : 
        e:EventArgs -> unit

protected function OnParentChanged(
    e : EventArgs
)

Parameters

• e
  Type: System.EventArgs

  An EventArgs that contains the event data.

Remarks

Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate. For more information, see Raising an Event.

The OnParentChanged method also enables derived classes to handle the event without attaching a delegate. This is the preferred technique for handling the event in a derived class.

Notes to Inheritors

When you override OnParentChanged in a derived class, be sure to call the OnParentChanged method of the base class so that registered delegates receive the event.

Examples

The following example is an event-raising method that is executed when the Enabled property value changes. The Shape class has several methods with the name pattern OnPropertyNameChanged that raise the corresponding PropertyNameChanged event when the PropertyName value changes (PropertyName represents the name of the corresponding property.)

The following example changes the color of a line when the Enabled property of a class derived from LineShape is changed to false.

Public Class DisabledLine
    Inherits LineShape
    Protected Overrides Sub OnEnabledChanged(ByVal e As EventArgs)
        ' Change the color of the line when selected. 
        If Me.BorderColor = SystemColors.InactiveBorder Then 
            Me.BorderColor = Color.Black
        Else 
            Me.BorderColor = SystemColors.InactiveBorder
        End If 
        MyBase.OnEnabledChanged(e)
    End Sub 
End Class

public class DisabledLine :
    LineShape
{
    protected override void OnEnabledChanged(EventArgs e)
    {
        // Change the color of the line when selected. 
        if (this.BorderColor == SystemColors.InactiveBorder)
        {
            this.BorderColor = Color.Black;
        }
        else
        {
            this.BorderColor = SystemColors.InactiveBorder;
        }
        base.OnEnabledChanged(e);
    }
}
