Finding which control triggered an event
-
Hi all, This is more of a winforms question. Here's the problem.. I have a
FlowLayoutPanelwhich is populated by severalPictureBoxes. Say I click on one of the picture boxes, is there a way I could find out which picture box out of the collection was clicked? Have already considered assigning an ID for each picturebox, but this just seems crude. Is there a sleek way of doing this? Thanks. -

Thanks.Every event has a sender object, you can interrogate the object to get the control type and the name (ID) of the control.
DataGridView oDG = (sender as DataGridView);

If the name property is not good enough what would you expect to use.

Subclassing and adding an ID property is as good as anything else
public class IdPictureBox : PictureBox
{
private int id;public int ID { get { return id; } set { id = value; } }}

Binging is like googling, it just feels dirtier. (Pete O'Hanlon)
BTW, in software, hope and pray is not a viable strategy. (Luc Pattyn)

Hmm.. the problem with name was that the names were all the same. So each object was of type PictureBox and had the name picturebox1. But I suppose I could assign different names to each picture box when I instantiate them... somewhat the same as having a custom ID property. Thanks.
