Get text inside buttons when pressed using only one event handler [closed]

Answer 1

You can efficiently add handle your button's click event during runtime like this,

I assume that you are having your buttons inside a panel called PnlBtns.

'Traversing through panel and adding a common handler for buttons
For each ctrl in PnlBtns.controls
 If TypeOf ctrl is button then
   AddHandler ctrl.Click, AddressOf CommonClickHandler
 end if
Next

'Common Handler for all of your buttons.
Private Sub CommonClickHandler(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
  MsgBox(ctype(sender,button).text)
End Sub

Answer 2

Simply add all the events you want to handle with a function, and detect inside which button has ben pressed:

Private Sub num1_Click(sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) _
Handles co.Click, co2.Click, co3.Click 'etc
    Dim btn As Button = CType(sender, Button)
    numPressed = btn.Text
End Sub

Answer 3

In your click event:

Dim button as Button = sender
Dim theTextYouWant as String = button.Text
