Create action on dynamically created button

[mainit123]

I am adding a button to a form at runtime:

Dim formabc as New Form()
Dim newbut as New Button()
newbut.Text = "Go for it"
newbut.Location = New Point (100,100)

formabc.Controls.Add(newbut)

I am sorry if this sounds simplistic but how can I now add any action for this button if I can't get out of this subroutine that I am in, where I am creating the button?

I want this button to obviously do something but I have no way to get going with a "Click" action that I would normally have if I had hard coded the button into the form originally. That is, I don't know how to start assigning activity to the newbut button click event at this point.
If I just create one as

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

I am told I need a WithEvents Variable ????

Thanks for any replies.

You need to declare the button with events at the class level. You'll also want to look into the "AddHandler" command.
