Changing background images on buttons

[NicktheNewbie]

I have the following code...

Private Sub btnSeat1A_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSeat1A.Click, btnSeat1B.Click
btnSeat1A.BackgroundImage = _
Image.FromFile("...\Project Files\seatme.jpg&quot
End Sub

Now what happens is, when I click the button btnSeat1A or btnSeat1B, the background image for btnSeat1A changes.

I know I could just have 40 "on click" events, one for each button, but this seems tedious.

I have 40 buttons, and when each one is clicked, I need the background image to change for that button.

When I try:
me.BackgroundImage = _
Image.FromFile("...\Project Files\seatme.jpg&quot

behind the onclick event, it changes the background of the form, not the button.

what would be the easiest way to handle this?

When you specify Me you are referring to the top most parent object, which in your case will be the Form.

if your command button is named cmdTest, then use cmdtest.backgroudimage etc....

Sounds to me as if you need to sub-class the base command button, add a property for you on-click image, and put code in the buttons click event to apply the image.

You should be able to create a control array to help with the problem, but I will have to get back to you on it if you need more details.
