Responding to events from dynamic controlls

[torisch]

Hi!

 

I have a form where I display the contents from a table in a database. For each record in the database i dynamically generate a textbox and a button. The textbox contains the content of the record in the database and my intention is to give the user the possibility to delete the databasereccord by hitting the button.

 

I put the dynamically generated textboxes and buttons in two arraylists, and adds them to a panel like this.

 

Dim tb as New ArrayList()
Dim btns as New ArrayList()
With rdr

           Dim i As Integer = 0
           
           While rdr.Read
               'Adding TextBox
               tb.Add(New TextBox())
               tb(i).text=rdr.item(1).ToString
               Me.Panel1.Controls.add(tb(i))
               

               'Adding Button
               btns.Add(New Button())
               btns(i).text="Delete this record"
               Me.Panel1.Controls.add(btns(i))
            
               i = i + 1

           End While
           .Close()
End With

 

This is a little simplified, but I manage to generate the form as I want it to look.

My problem is how to respond to a click event from the buttons.

I reccon it has to be dynamically generated events for the buttons too, so that I can find which button the user have clicked.

Anybody has a clue about how I can solve that?

 

I'm using VB.NET by the way..
