How to capture Button Index in .NET

[jasonlimks]

Dear All,
In VB6 we can simply find out the command button index if we have series of buttons on form.

Example VB6 Code:-
Sub Command1_Click(Index as Integer)
' msgbox "You are pressed Button number :" & index
End Sub

How do we do it VB .NET ? so that we know what button we are pressed !

my .NET sample code:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click, Button2.Click, Button3.Click

? What is the command to capture the button index

End Sub

TIA

regards
Jas

It doesn't work that way in .Net, but to answer your question, the sender object that is passed in as an argument contains which button was clicked. Try something like this:


'Might be CommandButton, I am doing this from memory.
Dim myButton As Button
myButton = CType(sender, Button)
MessageBox.Show(myButton.Name.ToString())



Remember, you have to cut me some slack, I am doing this completely from memory and did not verify it completely in VS.Net. Some changes will probably be needed.

Assuming you have two buttons :

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click, Button2.Click
        If sender Is Me.Button1 Then
            MessageBox.Show("You clicked button1")
        Else
            MessageBox.Show("You clicked button2")
        End If
 
    End Sub
