Create Buttons from Source and add Events

[Illuvatan]

Hi. I have got a problem and I hoped you would help me.

I use this function to create a button within an application

private void AddButton(string Text)
{
Button cmdTest = new Button();
pnlContainer.Controls.Add(cmdTest);
}

I was wondering why C# wasn't complaining there are multiple buttons with the same name.. but there seems to be no problem.

So my next problem is that I need to have buttons created at runtime (that's the point) that should trigger an event (a simple example would do .. I am not quite too familiar with events and delegates).

private void AddControl()
{
Button btn = new Button();
btn.click += new EventHandler(Button_Click);
pnlControls.Controls.Add(btn);
}

private void Button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Do some stuff
}

you can also use the -= to remove an eventhandler.

additional question.

How can I access the object that was clicked?

sender has only got the equals, gettype and tostring functions, i need to access things like height, width, text and tag of that commandbutton.

I tried already

Button cmdTest = sender;
but that doesn't work

Sorry its taken so long to reply internet has been playing up..

you need to cast the object as a button..

private void Button_Client(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Button btn = (Button)sender;
btn.Text = "This is the nuts";
//You can also do it like this..
((Button)sender).Text = "Yeah Baby !!";
}

Cool ?
