Assign an EventHandler from a control using it

Question

kinda difficult to explain but is there a way to do something like:

control1.ShownEditor += EventHandler;

...

control2.ShownEditor += control1.ShownEditor; //wrong

Save your event to a EventHandler delegate.

EventHandler Myevent = () => {/*event handling code here*/};

Assign the event handler delegate to the control events

control1.ShownEditor += Myevent;
control2.ShownEditor += Myevent;

Thx Code but this misses the point. Point is to assign it from another control. – Mauro Oct 13 '12 at 15:21

I think you need something like this to get bound EventHandler. As you have handler, you can then easily bind it to event.

Simply: you cannot use an EventHandler of a control's event and assign it to another event. So this isn't possible:

control2.ShownEditor += control1.ShownEditor; //wrong

The only way is to create an EventHandler separately and assign it to both the controls' event.
