Shape.OnMouseEnter Method

Raises the MouseEnter event.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Protected Friend Overridable Sub OnMouseEnter ( _
    e As EventArgs _
)

protected internal virtual void OnMouseEnter(
    EventArgs e
)

protected public:
virtual void OnMouseEnter(
    EventArgs^ e
)

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

function OnMouseEnter(
    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 OnMouseEnter 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 OnMouseEnter in a derived class, be sure to call the OnMouseEnter method of the base class so that registered delegates receive the event.

Examples

The following example is a method that is executed when the Click event occurs. The Shape class has several methods with the name pattern OnEventName that execute methods when the EventName event occurs. (EventName represents the name of the corresponding event.)

The following example demonstrates how to override the OnClick and OnLostFocus methods in a class that derives from LineShape.

Public Class HighlightLine
    Inherits LineShape
    Protected Overrides Sub OnClick(ByVal e As EventArgs)
        ' Change the color of the line when clicked. 
        Me.BorderColor = Color.Red
        MyBase.OnClick(e)
    End Sub 
    Protected Overrides Sub OnLostFocus(ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        ' Change the color of the line when focus is changed. 
        Me.BorderColor = Color.Black
        MyBase.OnLostFocus(e)
    End Sub 
End Class

public class HighlightLine :
    LineShape
{
    protected override void OnClick(EventArgs e)
    {
        // Change the color of the line when clicked. 
        this.BorderColor = Color.Red;
        base.OnClick(e);
    }
    protected override void OnLostFocus(System.EventArgs e)
    {
        // Change the color of the line when focus is changed. 
        this.BorderColor = Color.Black;
        base.OnLostFocus(e);
    }
}
