which textbox is entered?

Hi, I'm trying to use the same event for different textboxes - the only difference being the textbox name. Is there a way to determine which textbox the mouse has entered in a MouseEnter event, and then be able to do things with it like Graphics g = txtBox.CreateGraphics(); SizeF size = g.MeasureString(txtBox.Text,fontsmal); ? Thanks so much again!!! Mel

Yes, the sender paarameter in the event handler is the textbox that sent the event

private void AllTextBoxes_MouseEnter(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
   TextBox tb = sender as textBox;
   if(tb != null)
   {
       // A textbox raised this event
   }
}

Awesome. Thanks!

The first argument to MouseEnter event "(object sender, EventArgs e)", sender is the control that triggered that event.
