Using Events and Subs for a dimmed object?

[Fabian_Russ]

Is it possible to program events and subs like the Click Event for a button that was declared without physically being on the form?

 

Example:

 

Dim NewButton as New Button

 

How would I go about firing the click event and using it inside a button that is not physically in the form during design time, but instead a new instance of it being created during runtime?

 

Any help is appreciated,

 

Thanks :D

If you already have the actual event handler code written then you can attach it via the AddHandler keyword.

e.g.

   Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
       MessageBox.Show("Clicked", "Clicked", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information)
   End Sub

   Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
       Dim b As New Button
       b.Text = "click me"
       b.Location = New Point(10, 10)
       Me.Controls.Add(b)
       AddHandler b.Click, AddressOf Button1_Click
   End Sub
