In my code I have a bunch of event handlers like this one:

private void cbx_game_r4_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Convert.ToString(cbx_game_r4.SelectedItem) == "bigBlind")
{
try
{
gr4.Text = Convert.ToString(thirdParty.d[selectedKey].game.BigBlind);
}
catch
{
}
}
else if (Convert.ToString(cbx_game_r4.SelectedItem) == "pot")
{
try
{
gr4.Text = Convert.ToString(thirdParty.d[selectedKey].game.Pot);
}
catch
{
}
}
}


In another class I have an OnMessage event handler. Whenever I recieve a message in that class I want all labels (i.e. gr4 in the above example) to refresh based on all the "xxx_SelectedIndexChanged" event handlers I have. I have the "form object" availible in the class where the OnMessage event handler is. I'm not sure if that matters.

How can I achieve this refreshing of labels every time my OnMessage event handler that resides in another class get's activated? This is the only thing that is missing in my first graphical application I'm looking forward to getting it compleate.

Thanks!

Problem solved

Hi,

First of all, you don't need this, "Convert.ToString(cbx_game ...."

Instead, cbox_game_r4.Text is enough to get the selected text.

Then, assume that you have two class class A and B.

Class A will have OnMessage EventHandler, Class B has label updating code.

Then you can create event (e.g. UpdateLabelEvent) in Class A and add event hander in Class B and attach like this.

Hope u got it

There's one thing that is stopping me from solving this and that I can't figure out. How do I access the form controls and the form events from an outside class. Here is how my code looks:

There are three classes below. That is 2 more than I can handle in this situation Help would be great

//main code
{
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
Form1 form = new Form1();
Application.Run(form);
}

//form
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;


namespace WindowsApplication1
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
}
}


//other class
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;

namespace WindowsApplication1
{
class MainCode
{
IPC ipc;
Form1 form;
Table table;
public Dictionary<string, Table> d = new Dictionary<string, Table>();

public MainCode(Form1 host) // initializer typ
{
form = host;
ipc = new IPC(host);
ipc.OnMessage += new IPC.MessageAction(ipc_OnMessage);
}
}
}



I want to be able to use the form's events and controls in MainCode.

Thankful for help!
