How to find out the private field value of the TextBox Leave event?

Based on this question I am trying to do the same thing for the TextBox Leave event. This should have been a no-brainer and I created an extension method as follows:



public static class TextBoxExtensions
{
public static bool IsLeaveEventWired(this TextBox txt)
{
var eventKey = typeof(TextBox).GetField("EVENT_LEAVE",
System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic |
System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Static)
.GetValue(txt);

EventHandlerList eventList = typeof(TextBox).GetProperty("Events",
System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic |
System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance)
.GetValue(txt, null) as EventHandlerList;

return eventList[eventKey] != null;
}
}


The problem is that apparently the EVENT_LEAVE key does not exist because I am getting a NullReferenceException. So far I have tried getting all the TextBox's fields but I only get one FieldInfo object "EVENT_TEXTALIGNCHANGED" which is not an event that I have a handler for and the two events that I do, "Leave" and "KeyUp" are not included in the list.



So as the title of the question, how can I find the key to the TextBox's Leave event to see if it is wired or not?



Thank you.

  • @RufusL - It did not work. I have tried this exact same code from the original post with a ComboBox and it does work as is. the issue here is to figure out the Leave event key. I suppose.

  • Well when I do typeof(TextBox).GetFields(System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Static), it returns only a single item, named EVENT_TEXTALIGNCHANGED, so it seems like something else is needed.

  • But, if you're looking for a way to keep track of what event are assigned to a Control/Class or verify whether a Component has already an event handler attached to an event, you could consider a class that is delegated to this task from the beginning. See the examples on: How to: Handle Multiple Events Using Event Properties and the EventHandlerList Class.
