Hi, You should create a wrapper object that has a field that stores arg2 and has an instance method that matches EventHandler. If you need "this" as well you should store that in the helper object as well:
this.foo.TextChanged += new System.EventHandler(new HelperObject(this, arg2).OnTextChanged); Kornél ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sanford Armstrong" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Paul" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "winforms" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, February 03, 2007 9:59 PM Subject: Re: [Mono-winforms-list] Is it possible to overload theSystem.EventHandler? > On 2/3/07, Paul <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I've googled for this for a while now, but can't seem to find a way to >> do it. >> >> I'm trying to pass more than one argument on a line like >> >> this.foo.TextChanged += new System.EventHandler(this.foo_TextChanged, >> arg2); >> >> where arg2 can be just about anything.
