Subject: Dynamic User Control with buttons

Question
I have created a user control with a button on it, when I add this to a form dynamically (more than 1) how can I tell which of the buttons are clicked? The user control is a basic form with status lights and a button that is a reset button. Each of these will control a different piece of equipment. Currently I am trying to add about 15 of these to a form, I can get them to be added to the form but when the reset button is pressed I can't seem to get the index. I would like to see if there is a way to achieve this without using the tag property. Please help.

Answer
Normally you would create event handlers for those buttons inside the user control. But I guess you want the button click event to be propogated to the container form.

For this you need to declare a custom event inside your user control

Event ButtonClick()

and inside user control write this code:

Raisevent ButtonClick()

Then you can handle the ButtonClick() event inside the form you are using the control on.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Rizwan
