ok i have 30 buttons on a calculator form
i want to make a function so when the mouse is over each button, it changes back color

how can i do that without writing a mousemove or code for each of them?

Place event handlers on the single procedure for all buttons of concern.

Private Sub Button1_MouseEnter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.MouseEnter, _
    Button2.MouseEnter, Button3.MouseEnter, Button4.MouseEnter, Button5.MouseEnter
        'All buttons listed in the Handles list will run this procedure
        'Change backcolor to new color
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub Button1_MouseLeave(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.MouseLeave, _
    Button2.MouseEnter, Button3.MouseEnter, Button4.MouseEnter, Button5.MouseEnter
        'All buttons listed in the Handles list will run this procedure
        'Change backcolor to original color
    End Sub

I listed all my buttons. How to change the color now?

You need to convert the sender object so you can determine which control to manipulate.

CType(sender, Button).BackColor = Color.LightGoldenrodYellow

Thanks!

The Color object can be found in the System.Drawing namespace.

'At the top of your class...
Imports System.Drawing
 
'Or dont use the Imports declaration and just type it all out.
CType(sender, Button).Backcolor = System.Drawing.Color.LightGoldenrodYellow
