Finding out what button was pressed??

[AB_Bill]

Hi guys, first time on this forum...
I tried your code and got it to work - put buttons on my form, etc. I included the AddHandler for each btnNew(index):

Public Class ButtonAdd
Private btnNew(9) As System.Windows.Forms.Button

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim intLoop As Integer

For intLoop = 0 To 9
btnNew(intLoop) = New Button
With btnNew(intLoop)
.Text = "ButtonText" & CStr(intLoop)
.Name = "ButtonName" & CStr(intLoop)
.SetBounds(10, 50 * (intLoop + 1), 120, 40)
AddHandler .Click, AddressOf Me.Hello_Click
End With
Next

Me.Controls.AddRange(btnNew)
End Sub

Private Sub Hello_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
MessageBox.Show("Button: " & sender.GetType.Name.ToString & " was pressed.")
End Sub
End Class

In my Hello_Click sub, how can I find out what button was pressed? I can't use the text field as that will change and that is about the only field I CAN detect (sender.ToString). Sender.GetType.Name gives me "Button" for every button. This is so close to working, any ideas/suggestions???

Thanks!

'sender' event parameter identifies which object raised the event, and here is it Button objects. Use DirectCast or CType to cast the sender object to a more specific type such as Button, then you can access properties like the Text property or Name property of that control.
DirectCast Operator (Visual Basic)
CType Function (Visual Basic)
