In Visual C# - How to I determin which Button is pressed.

[aProgrammingStudent]

Here's the deal. I am creating a calculator program using visual studios. I have a much of buttons on my form and I want to be able to determin which button is clicked by the user.

Reason: I want to use the Text property of the botton pressed by the user without have to have a click event for each button.

Hi
you could have one click event and link that to the click events of all the buttons.
So for the buttons which have numbers, you could use one event for the 10 buttons.

apart from that, you will have to use event handlers (because clicking a button is an event...ding ding)

You can assign the same handler to multiple buttons.
To tell which button is pressed, the event handler has that "object sender" argument.
That object will represent which button was pressed:

if (sender.GetType()==typeof(Button))
{//sender is a Button type (like it should be)
   Button TheClickedButton = (Button)sender;
   //now you can access the properties of the button normally
   //TheClickedButton.Text
   //TheClickedButton.Name
}

Thanks. I will give it a shot.
