thanks, worked great.

I am trying to set the backcolor to a control. The user provides the name of the control in a TextBox. How is this done? Unsuccessful with: Dim nameofctrl As Object = Textbox1.text DirectCast(nameofctrl, Control).BackColor = Color.Green

Well to be honest, I'm not using 'sender', I'm using 'lastSender', which is the saved sender of a sub that handles all the .clicks of the ts buttons. I can then see if the lastSender.CheckState is checked and then add the control to the form. Thanks though! DirectCast works great!

Sorry guys, my problem is not that control are being added to the wrong form, it is that since many tasks are done multiple time I want it to be handled in one sub. It's not going to be as effective as I thought though since I was having each controls .Text, .Name, etc set this way. But it...

I have a a series of buttons that are handled by one subroutine. Once one of the buttons is pressed I want to create a new control on the form of whatever button was pressed. I've managed to put the type of control into a string: strCtrlType = sender.ToString() From here I want to know if and...
