To my understanding, when you call raiseEvent from somewhere, you just release it to the wild for any listening handlers to act on it. Well, not exactly, as http://wiki.dabodev.com/Events suggests that an event propagates only to the children of the object that raised them.
But I'm stuck for some hours now, and I can't seem to be able to listen for an event, except when I'm raising it from the same object that listens. None of the children of the raising object get the event. My sample code is at the bottom: On this example, when a TextBox raises the Event, it responds to it. When the Form raises it, it only gets the Event itself. I was expecting the TextBoxes to get it too. Finally, when I raise the Event from the Application, none of it's children get it. I've run many iterations but nothing seems to matter. And it also happens with regular (not custom) events as far as I tested. So, should I be doing something more here, or is it that I've completely misunderstood the event model?
