Event handling for a 144 buttons!

[nadj]

I've reached the next stage of my first real c# project thanks to some folks on here. I now need to implement button click events for 144 buttons!

Each time any of the buttons are clicked a check must be done (a background calculation) and then the properties for that button need to be set depending on the results of that calculation.

E.g.

private void button144_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
     int x = someFunction();
     if (x>5) 
        {    
            button144.FlatStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FlatStyle.Popup;
            button144.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.DarkGray;
        }
			
}

I could simply write out the code for all 144 buttons but that would be far to boring !!!

Can anyone help me?

I think that you create the buttons dynamically and add event handler like this:

	   private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
			Button b=null;
			for(int n=0;n<144;n++)
			{
				b=new Button();
				this.Controls.Add(b);
				//position the controls
			    b.Click+=new EventHandler(button144_Click);
			}
		}

		private void button144_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
			Button b=(Button)sender;

			MessageBox.Show(b.Name);
					    
			//do actions on b;
			
		}

You dont need to create them at runtime.

In your Form_Load function...

foreach (Control c in Controls)
{
     if (typeof(c) == typeof(Button))
          c.Click += new EventHandler(all_buttons_click)
}
