Hi to all
I had created a number of TextBoxes in runtime, I had also writen the click event for the TextBoxes, when I click on the TextBox i.e (which was created in runtime), I want to get the Text of TextBox .

Creating the TextBox depends on a database.

C#

TextBox t = new TextBox();
t.Text = dr["temp1"].ToString();
t.BackColor = Color.CadetBlue;
t.WordWrap = true;
t.Multiline = true;
t.ReadOnly = true;
t.HideSelection = true;
t.Size = new Size(610, 50);
t.Name = "temptxt";
t.Click += new System.EventHandler(t_Click);
pan.Controls.Add(t);

I had tried a lot but no use. I had also tried by keeping the CheckBox hidden, because I should not use the CheckBox at that place, but I am not able to get the Text of the clicked TextBox.

Solution 2

Use the following code in the Click event handler of the TextBox

C#

void t_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    TextBox t1 = (TextBox)sender;
    string str = t1.Text; 
}

Solution 1

In the Click event handler, you will have a parameter "sender" - this is the TextBox that caused the event:

TextBox t = sender as TextBox;
if (t != null)
   {
   Console.WriteLIne(t.Text);
   }
