trying to make a simple GUI for a game editor
Author
Hi,
I'm working on a game editor for my XNA project. And i'm trying to throw together a simple GUI for controls like buttons, checkboxes, listboxes. the simple stuff.
Anyways, awhile back (before i took a long break from programming) I had some success with a C++ gui for opengl.
My problem now is that with C#, I can't do the control events the same way i did before. It's probably because i dont have a firm grasp on event handlers and delegates and whatnot.
I used to have a pointer to a function in my control class that you could assign any function to.
First you need to add a listener to the button click event.
+= to an event adds it to the listener list, -= removes it from the list.
button1_Click is the method that will be called when the click event happens.
That is all you need to do. Add the listener, add the method. You are done.

button1.Click += new EventHandler(button1_Click);+= to an event adds it to the listener list, -= removes it from the list.
button1_Click is the method that will be called when the click event happens.
void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e){ // Do your stuff here.}That is all you need to do. Add the listener, add the method. You are done.

Use a functor perhaps?
Just define a class that does the behavior you want to associate with the button and pass the class to the button. When your button does the associated action (i.e. "pressed"), just run the "Execute" method on the functor.
Using a functor is a form of delegation but not necessarily the best. This is just one of many ways to do it.
What about event-handling confuses you? Understanding how an event-handling system would work is surely to give you a lot of insight into the problem.
