.NET Forum / Windows Forms / WinForm Controls / December 2004How can I make a control show inherited events from System.Windows.Forms.Control
I dropped a tab control on my form and wanted to create an event to capture a Keypress. Looking at the events, I couldn't find a KeyPress event, only to find it in my form. So I created it there and then manually moved it to hook into the tab control. It all works fine but I was wondering if there is a way that I could make the tab control properties show the inherited events so that I could just double click and get my event, not go thru the pain of double clicking on the form and then moving the code. TIA Ralph I just looked at the tabcontrol and it has the inherited keypress event and so is the onkeypress eventhandler > I dropped a tab control on my form and wanted to create an event to > capture a Keypress.

When I click on my TabControl and choose the events display in the Properties window (the lightning bolt icon near the top), it shows all events for a TabControl, including those inherited from Control, which includes KeyPress. Double-clicking next to the KeyPress event for the TabControl creates a new method and automatically hooks it into the control. Are you using VS 2003 or 2005? I don't see any events display in the properties window or any lightning bolt icon anywhere. What language are you using? VB or C#?

It sounds like you selected a tabpage and not the tabcontrol. The tabpage is a derived panel and panel shadows and hides the key events. > I dropped a tab control on my form and wanted to create an event to > capture a Keypress.
