[MonoDevelop] Can't get basic code to work

[George Lober]

Looks like the problem was with using the right signal. Using the 
Clicked event and my original steps is working now. One thing that I was 
doing which is different from the steps that you outline is that I was 
entering the event name manually in the signals column (the fields do 
say to "Click here to add a new handler") as opposed to double clicking 
twice on the signal name itself, but this does not appear to make a 
difference, it is the Clicked signal that was needed. I do prefer the 
double click approach thou, so thank you for pointing that out.


Thank you for your help,
George
