BasicLable double click

[larryhts]

Hi. Using Ver 339yBeta12 On the main form on any of the BasicLabel’s when I double click on them I thought it would take me to the items click event in the code. It doesn’t it just stays on the form???

If you check the code of the BasicLabel, you will see that the DefaultEvent is set to no event:

Code: [Select]

<System.ComponentModel.DefaultEvent("")>
Public Class BasicLabel
    Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Label

So just change it to Click event:

Code: [Select]

<System.ComponentModel.DefaultEvent("Click")>
Public Class BasicLabel
    Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Label

Then the double-click should work.

Just be aware of the code that already exists for the KeypadPopUp:

Code: [Select]

    '***********************************************************
    '* If the label is clicked, pop up a keypad for data entry
    '***********************************************************
    Protected Overrides Sub OnClick(e As System.EventArgs)
        MyBase.OnClick(e)

        If m_PLCAddressKeypad IsNot Nothing AndAlso (String.Compare(m_PLCAddressKeypad, "") <> 0) And Enabled Then
            ActivateKeypad()
        End If
    End Sub

This is by design. The majority of users coming from another HMI package will by habit double click a control to get to the properties. I have noticed on many occasions their code will have a large number of empty event handlers. In some rare cases, once they are taken to the code page they do not know what to do. To avoid these issues, I have decided to begin removing default event handlers.
