public delegate void LayoutEventHandler(System::Object ^ sender, LayoutEventArgs ^ e);
public delegate void LayoutEventHandler(object sender, LayoutEventArgs e);
public delegate void LayoutEventHandler(object? sender, LayoutEventArgs e);
type LayoutEventHandler = delegate of obj * LayoutEventArgs -> unit
Public Delegate Sub LayoutEventHandler(sender As Object, e As LayoutEventArgs)

Parameters

sender
Object

The source of the event.

e

Remarks

When you create a LayoutEventArgs delegate, you identify the method that will handle the event. To associate the event with your event handler, add an instance of the delegate to the event. The event handler is called whenever the event occurs, unless you remove the delegate. For more information about event handler delegates, see Handling and Raising Events.

Extension Methods
