I knew it would happen...

You start programming in C++ for a couple of months and you forget how to do anything in VB. Can anyone help?

I am trying to use an array of buttons for a simple calculator demo. However, when I try to access the "click" procedure for each, it uses only one sub that is named

Private Sub Command1_Click(Index as Integer)

How do I make it so that when I click on Command1(3) it prints a 3.?

The button array thing is messing with my mind's concept of C++ arrays.

Here is a way, use the Index argument to take action depending on which button in the control array is clicked:

VB Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click(Index As Integer)
 
    Select Case Index
        Case 0
            '   Button 0 was cliked
            '   TODO: insert code for button 0
        
        Case 1
            '   Button 1 was clicked
            '   TODO: insert code for button 1
        
        Case 2
            '   Button 2 was clicked
            '   TODO: insert code for button 2
        
        Case 3
            '   Button 3 was clicked
            Debug.Print Index   '   <<< act on button 3 in array
    End Select
    
End Sub

It is worth pointing out that the Index argument indicates which button in the control array was clicked. If you want to find the index for a particular button on the screen, select it and look for the value of Index in the Properties window.

Hope this helps ya.

Thanx alot. I felt really stupid asking such an easy question but I think it probably happens to everybody once in awhile.
