You would want to set the button id value.
Something like myButton.Id = "btn"+I.ToString();

Then in the event
CType(Sender, Button).Id to figure out which button.

Hope that helps.

You have three questions posted and they are all obviously homework. Work on it and if you get stuck then ask your question.

Overrided install sub problem

With VisualStudio.Net, i'm using an installer class with a custom action
on my setup project to ask the user a serial number. A "Textboxes"
dialog on the "user interface" provides the serial number string to an
overrided version of then install procedure, inside my installer class.

My problem is that the install sub is able to verify the serial number
entered, but then i can't stop/cancel the installation procedure.

Why are you putting a label OVER the picturebox? Are you sure that the picturebox is actually linked to an image and showing it?

With .Net I have not found a way to use transparency with labels and show the background like you can do with VB6. I have had to resort to keeping the label hidden and using it's text,location, etc. in the picture box's OnPaint event using a graphics object to draw the text on the picture box.

Hope that helps Smile | :)

I was able to add a label to a picturebox and it's transparency worked fine. How are you creating the label. Is it done at runtime or design time. Remember that the location of a control is relative to it's parent. So if the label exists at design time and is located 100 from the left and 200 from the top it will be in that same relative position when you set it's parent to the picturebox. What may be happening is when you set the parent to the picturbox the label is positioned where you can't see it. Try setting it's position to (0,0) and see if it shows up. As proof of concept try creating a new project. Add a label and a picturbox to your form as well as a button. To prove the transparency works give the picturbox an image. Then add this code.

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    'Set the parent
    Label1.Parent = PictureBox1
    'Position the label so we can see it
    Label1.Location = New Point(0, 0)
    'Give it a transparent background
    Label1.BackColor = Color.Transparent
End Sub

Resizing Picture box in StrechImage mode and Gradiant problem!!!???

Hi.
I'm making a Button user control and it consist of three parts.
Left,center and right Picture boxes. Why when i change picture box width which is set to StrechImage mode, it's image in runtime will take gradient?

Re: Resizing Picture box in StrechImage mode and Gradiant problem!!!???

It only streches the image. Therefore, you won't be able to apply percise gradient. WTF | :WTF:
