SOT: VS 2k8 have the ability to automatic event handling

[Jon Slaughter]

I know this isn't a VS specific NG but I'm curious as to if VS can automate
handling events in the designer. The issue is that when I, say, double click
a control it has some default event attached to it but what about in
general? I can't find any place where I can select the event to add and have
it add it automatically like it does the default.

Thanks,
Jon

Hmm, not sure I understand you correctly, but try this: select the control,
and in the properties pane, click on "Events" (the "lightning icon)

(If you can't see the properties pane, right-click the control and select
"Properties")

You'll see a list of events supported by this control, including any handlers
already defined. Double-click on a listed event and it will either take you to
an already-defined handler, or create a new one for you. Hope that was what
you were looking for?

Gilles.

Never mind, I think I found it in the events tab. (Thought I remember seeing
that before...)

Yeah, thats it. I found it after a few mins searching. I forgot there was an
icon for it(I saw it before but rarely used it and just plain forgot).
