  Hi!
  In new version these events works only if you click on the border of the textbox, how can I catch event when user click on "work" space of textbox ?

  Hi Max,
  
  Thank you for the question.
  
  You could handle the Click and DoubleClick events in TexBoxItem by using the code provided below:
  
  

  private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

  {

  this.radTextBox1.TextBoxElement.TextBoxItem.Click += new EventHandler(TextBoxItem_Click);

  this.radTextBox1.TextBoxElement.TextBoxItem.DoubleClick += new EventHandler(TextBoxItem_DoubleClick);

  }

  void TextBoxItem_DoubleClick(object sender, EventArgs e)

  {

  //do something...

  }

  void TextBoxItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

  {

  //do something...

  }

  
  I hope this helps. If you need additional assistance, do not hesitate to contact me again.

  This workaround makes me go into every load page code and wire the events, this is alot of work when I'm just upgrading a project that already has 1000's of event handlers.

  How can you make the RadTextBox.TextBoxElement.TextBoxItem.Click event call the RadTextBox.Click event?
  I was thinking inheriting the RadTextBox and rethrow the event from the textboxitem...
  Other suggestions / code is appreciated.

  Hello Arve Asheim,
  
  Thank you for getting back to me.
  
  Actually, you can override RadTextBox control and link its Click event to the TextBoxItem's Click event. Please, consider the following code:
  

  class CustomTextBox : RadTextBox

      {

          public CustomTextBox()

          {

              this.TextBoxElement.TextBoxItem.Click += new EventHandler(TextBoxItem_Click);

              this.TextBoxElement.TextBoxItem.DoubleClick += new EventHandler(TextBoxItem_DoubleClick);

          }

    

          void TextBoxItem_DoubleClick(object sender, EventArgs e)

          {

              base.OnDoubleClick(e);

          }

    

          void TextBoxItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

          {

              base.OnClick(e);

          }

    

          public override string ThemeClassName

          {

              get

              {

                  return typeof(RadTextBox).FullName;

              }

          }   

      }

  
  Let me know if you have any other questions.

  Hi Martin,
  
  I don't want to hijack the thread, but can you tell me how then if we are using the EventArgs instead of MouseEventArgs can we tell which button (left button or right button) the user double-clicked with - in my case there needs to be a difference. Also, based on the example given seems like Click is always occurring no matter how fast I double-click.
  
  Thank you.

  I figured out the issue with the button - right or left, you need to convert the EventArg to a MouseEventArg and then read what button was clicked. Original click issue still stands when both events are defined.
