Adding a Custom Event Handler Section:

This code doesn't work:

I downloaded the code off of the website and it doesn't even work.
there must be something wrong with the custom event. This might need to be fixed in the wrox book. i don't know.

if you put a break point on the messagebox.show it will not even hit when you click the button.

Many Wrox books have more than fourteen chapters :) Can you say which book you're having problems with?

Well nothing is probably happening because the event hasn't been 'wired' up with the code above. This is done witha line of code like this:

ctlLabelTextbox1.PaddingChanged += new System.EventHandler(ctlLabelTextbox1_PaddingChange d);

In Visual Studio this can be done by selecting the control in design view, and changing the property window to show the events. The drop down box next to PaddingChanged should list your method above.

It is: Not sure what to do next.

        #region Windows Form Designer generated code

        /// <summary>

        /// the contents of this method with the code editor.
        /// </summary>
        private void InitializeComponent()
        {
            this.ctlLabelTextbox1 = new LabelTextbox.ctlLabelTextbox();
            this.button1 = new System.Windows.Forms.Button();
            this.SuspendLayout();
            //
            // ctlLabelTextbox1
            //
            this.ctlLabelTextbox1.LabelText = "";
            this.ctlLabelTextbox1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(51, 104);
            this.ctlLabelTextbox1.Name = "ctlLabelTextbox1";
            this.ctlLabelTextbox1.Position = LabelTextbox.ctlLabelTextbox.PositionEnum.Right;
            this.ctlLabelTextbox1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(150, 20);
            this.ctlLabelTextbox1.TabIndex = 0;
            this.ctlLabelTextbox1.TextboxMargin = 0;
            this.ctlLabelTextbox1.TextboxText = "";
            this.ctlLabelTextbox1.PaddingChanged += new System.EventHandler(this.ctlLabelTextbox1_PaddingC hanged);
            //
            // button1
            //

OK, I've just realised something - you say the event doesn't fire when you Click the button - well that would be because its not the Click event, its the PaddingChanged event.
