Assigning a universal BeenClicked events to a set of buttons.

09-15-2009 10:02 AM |

I want to create a set of buttons, a bit like a number pad. I want to do this at runtime, creating the buttons at runtime for various reasons, because there are a lot of them and also I want to space and set them out depending on the size of the workspace.

However, these buttons are all related and I would like a universal Clicked function for the lot of them. I could create a new class

public class MyButton

{

int id;

Button button;

}

elsewhere

void UniversalBeenClick(MyButton button)

{

}

So the universal function would be able to know which button is pressed. But how do I allocated this function to all my manually-code-created buttons instead of having separate functions for each. Is there a way of doing this already, and it is somehow related to the arguments of the normal function, ie (object sender, RoutedEventArgs e).

Hope you can help.

Why do you want to create new Button class?

I think you should be able to do as below ~

btn1.Click += new RoutedEventHandler(UniversalBeenClick);

btn2.Click += new RoutedEventHandler(UniversalBeenClick);

btn3.Click += new RoutedEventHandler(UniversalBeenClick);

That is not the thing I am unsure about. OK, here is what I want to do. (I have not got my Silverlight documentation next to me at the moment, so the labels might be wrong. (Ie butts[ i ].Clicked += is the assigning the been clicked function to a button).

Button[] butts = new Button[10];

for(int i=0; i<10; i++)

{

butts[ i ] = new Button();

butts[ i ].Clicked += UniversalButtonClick; // Note this is the same button Been Clicked function for ALL buttons

}

else where

void UniversalButtonClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

// In here, how do I know which of my 10 buttons has been clicked????

}
