parse value from datagrid to button name

[koskap]

Im building a form that has many buttons, all buttons do the same thing, add 1 everytime they are clicked. Every pressed button is sent to a datagridview along with the time they are pressed.
Datagrid values look like this:

a_1_serv (button name), 18:05:00(time).

Sometimes i want to delete last row. Everything works fine so far.

When i delete last row, i want to change the text of the button(a_1_serv). I can parse the dgv value (a_1_serv) to a variable but i cant bind it to the apropriate button name so i can control it.
is there a way to do it?

Thanks

No sure I understand what your asking. But if you need to access a button on a form by name then you can use the forms "controls" method.

        Dim var = "Button1"
        MessageBox.Show(Me.Controls(var).Text)

Consider each time a new button is created add it to a private List(Of Button), then to remove the last button, get it by index, pass it to Controls.Remove then remove it from the list via Remove. Prior to removing a button assert there are buttons in the list.

Written in note pad

Private Sub DeleteLast_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
    If ButtonsList.Count <= 0 Then
        Return
    End If
    Dim button = ButtonsList(ButtonsList.Count -1)
    Controls.Remove(button)
    ButtonsList.Remove(button)
End Sub
