Hello,

I have a project with multiple child forms (created from DLLs). When a
button in the child form is clicked the Parent form needs to know what
button was clicked. Any Suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Chuck
 
Charles,

Never did this, however I think I would create a property in every mdi child
form form that I would fill when there was a button clicked in the events
something as this. Roughly typed, not tested just a gues.
\\\
Private lButton As Button
Public ReadOnly Property Lastbutton() As Button
Get
Return lButton
End Get
End Property
Button Click event
lButton = sender
end sub
///
That can be seen in the parent with mymdiform.Lastbutton.name

I hope this helps?

Define an event in your child form and add a handler to this event in
the main form. Then you can pass the reference to the control that
raises the event in the 'sender' parameter of your event.
 
I Agree. Do a web search for "Observer Pattern"
