How do I create an event handler for a programmatically created object in VB.NET?

Question

Say I have an object that I dynamically create. For example, say I create a button called "MyButton":

Dim MyButton as New Button() MyButton.Name = "MyButton" 

How do I create, say, a "Click" event? If it were statically created I could create a function as:

Private Sub MyButton_Click(ByVal sender as system.object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles. 

How do I implement an event handler for MyButton?

Answer 1

You use AddHandler and AddressOf like this:

Dim MyButton as New Button() MyButton.Name = "MyButton" AddHandler MyButton.Click, AddressOf MyButton_Click
