    I have 5 buttons. clicking them once changes that button's color to, say orange. And when another button is clicked that will become orange and the previous will reset to original color So i want to toggle their color's depending on which one is clicked. I want code to be efficient. No repeating codes. Any ideas? Just tell me some ideas how to go about implementing it. my idea: send all button click events to a change color function. but we need to know which button has been clicked Any other ideas welcom

      Hmm, for a button colour change algorithm you'll require extensive use of both the Dirac equation and the Riemann-Zeta function; also, what's your background like in signal processing and vector calculus?

        Oh, come on, he could easily achieve the same thing by finding non-pathological solutions to Schrödinger's equation or by proving the Hodge conjecture.

          Fool! Every true geek knows that only ONE of the solutions to Schrodinger's equation is correct. If he manages to prove the other one, he might unmake existence! We must act now to stop this menace, before it's too late! Charge the Heisenberg cannons, and let's hope they work!

                        Unless they're in a box, in which they'll probably do both.

                          Just fit them with Heisenberg compensators and they work fine.

                            I said that given the common response to a VB question, you would probably get a similar attitude in the Back Room. It was a joke; I'm sorry if it misled you.

                              Put them in a control array, then add all the buttons to one event handler. In that event handler determine what button was clicked, set its back-color property to what you want and all the others should be set to their normal color. That should get you far enough.
