i have buuttons which are going to be created at runtime. so i should be able to move that buttons with code. for that i know i should use

VB

Private Sub Runtime Button Name_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles User.MouseDown

Similarly i should use Mouse Move and Mouse Up Events.

Problem here is I am not understanding how to name the runtime button so that i should be able to move that button.

Please help me how to name the button which is created at runtime.

Solution 1

Give your method a generic name: "CreatedAtRunTimeButton_MouseDown" for example, and set all your created buttons to use the same handler. Then within the handler use the sender parameter (cast into a Button) to access which button was pressed.

VB

Dim b As Button = TryCast(sender, Button)
If b IsNot Nothing Then
    Dim text As String = b.Text
End If

You should really add the "AddHandler" bit for clarity.
