How do you know what event fired and which control fired it?

Hi Everyone,

Can you show me what code to use to find out what event fires and what control triggered the event to fire?

Thanks.

Does this help?

    Private Sub Button_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click, Button2.Click, Button3.Click
        Dim c As Control = DirectCast(sender, Control)
        MessageBox.Show(c.Name)
    End Sub

Hi RiverGuy,

It's close but it would only handle click events.

The events could be anything such as a window re-size a button click, or anything else.

I'm hoping to trap both the control name that causes an even as well as what the actual event name is but I don't know which even that will be until it actually happens.

Truly,
