Question Detecting CheckBox CheckedChanged event

[Bozz]

I would like MyProcess() to fire when I click on any of several checkboxes. I could do it like this...

Private Sub CheckBox_CheckedChanged(ByVal etc...) _
Handles CheckBox1.CheckedChanged, _
Handles CheckBox2.CheckedChanged, _
Handles CheckBox3.CheckedChanged
MyProcess()
End Sub

...but I have alot of checkboxes, and anyway, this method isn't very scalable.
Is there any other way for a form (or panel maybe) to detect mouse events on child controls kind of like the way the KeyPreview property of a form allows it to detect key events of it's child controls?

you may want to check out AddHandler method.
Then iterate all the controls and check the type e.g.

For each ctrl as Control in Me.Controls
  If ctrl.GetType is GetType(CheckBox) Then
    ' add handler to each checkbox 
  End If
Next

Thanks, kulrom, for your quick reply.
AddHandler is just what I needed.

Note, I think that the loop there *doesnt* recurse into e.g. a panel

You'd need to do something like:
.Net2TheMax - Enumerate all (nested) Controls in a form

Or use GetNextControl (enumerates in Tab Order)
Control.GetNextControl Method (System.Windows.Forms)
