Question Dynamically addhandler

[enveetee]

Is it possible to dynamically direct a particular control's event to use a
predefined method.

For example.
I have a form which I dynamically add controls to, let's say, TextBox1,
TextBox2 and TextBox3 and a module which as 3 routines, Method1, Method2,
Method3

When I dynamically add my controls, eg TextBox4, I want to choose which of
the 3 methods I want mapped to which event.

I was thinking of something like this...

.
.
.
Dim objTextBox1 as new TextBox
dim NameOfRoutine$="Module.Method2"
Form.Controls.Add(objTextBox1)

Call AssignMethodToEvent(objTextBox1.GotFocus, NameOfRoutine$)
.
.
.


Can anyone help me on this? Is this possible?

When you create controls at runtime, you need to use the addhandler statement to route the events you want.

Dim tb As New Textbox
With tb
...
Addhandler .TextChanged, AddressOf tb_TextChanged
End With

Private Sub tb_TextChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
  'do something...
End Sub

Just remember your event signature must match the event:
(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
