Button Events question

[mjtaryan]

If I were to use, for different purposes, all four events (down, up, click, long-click) with a button AND use a single event handling routine, how do I distinguish between the four events (I'm thinking of something along the lines of "Activity.Action_Down", etc.)? Thanks.

Are you manually delegating the event to a single sub? You can pass an additional parameter to this sub to distinguish between the events.

Consider using a (transparent) Panel is you want to handle the Touch event.

Thanks Erel,

For the current project, I don't need the touch event (at least not as the UI is currently constructed). Can you provide a link to an example of using the parameter to distinguish between down, up, click, etc. Right now I have separate event handlers for each of these. Because a significant amount of the processing is quite similar, I'd like to make it more elegant and smaller. There are numerous buttons. Also, other than using the Tag property, is there a way to determine which button has been "activated"? Thanks.

create a sub that will do everything you want give parameter of Action as string. then in each separate event call the sub passing "up", "down", etc

Tried your suggestion. It will suffice. Thanks.
