I had Added Button Controls dynamically in window form,now i want to add different event to every button control. Here is my code of adding button dynamically from database.
private void GetButtonDynamically()
{
SqlConnection conn = GetConnection();
conn.Open();
using (conn)
{
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Select MenuName from tblMainMenu",conn);
SqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
while (reader.Read())
{
Button mybutton = new Button();
mybutton.Location = new Point(x, y + 54);
y += 54;
mybutton.Height = 44;
mybutton.Width = 231;
mybutton.BackColor = Color.Gainsboro;
mybutton.ForeColor = Color.Black;
mybutton.Text = reader["MenuName"].ToString();
mybutton.Name = reader["MenuName"].ToString();
mybutton.Font = new Font("Georgia", 12);
Controls.Add(mybutton);
mybutton.Click+= new EventHandler(mybutton_Click);
}
conn.Close();
}
}
Now the problem i am facing is it generate same Event for every button that is created dynamically, and i want different method for every button
Here Is Click Event
private void mybutton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Button is Clicked");
}
You can add a "AccessibleName" for your button while creating it. In your case inside your while loop and get the accessible name in button click event and apply a switch case or loop to differentiate it. sample code
int x = 10; int y = 10;
for (int i = 1; i < 5; i++)
{
Button mybutton = new Button();
mybutton.Location = new Point(x, y + 54);
y += 54;
mybutton.Height = 44;
mybutton.Width = 231;
mybutton.BackColor = Color.Gainsboro;
mybutton.ForeColor = Color.Black;
mybutton.Text = i + "MenuName".ToString();
mybutton.Name = i + "MenuName".ToString();
mybutton.AccessibleName = i.ToString();
mybutton.Font = new Font("Georgia", 12);
Controls.Add(mybutton);
mybutton.Click += new EventHandler(mybutton_Click);
}
In Button click modify like this
private void mybutton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Button cb = (Button)sender;
string strName = cb.AccessibleName;
switch (strName)
{
case "1":
MessageBox.Show("Button 1 is Clicked");
break;
case "2":
MessageBox.Show("Button 2 is Clicked");
break;
case "3":
MessageBox.Show("Button 3 is Clicked");
break;
default:
break;
}
}
