Pass arguments in ElapsedEventHandler C++/CLI

Question

How do I pass arguments to my function with ElapsedEventHandler?

NewTimer->Elapsed+=gcnew ElapsedEventHandler(&TimerEvent(String1,String2)); ???

I get this error:

'System::Timers::ElapsedEventHandler' : a delegate constructor expects 2 argument(s)

Any help appreciated.

Answer 1

ElapsedEventHandler defines a delegate that takes two parameters:

• The object that raised the event (the timer object).
• ElapsedEventArgs, which contains the time that the timer was triggered.

If you need other information in your event handler, store them in fields on your class, and reference them that way.
