Question

I wish to display a list of letters from a through z on a form. Each letter needs to be clickable with that value being passed as a click argument. Aside from creating 26 letters and using the click event of each letter does anyone know of a quick way to do this? I know how to load dynamic controls etc and how to do it that way. Just wondering if anyone knew of a clever way to do this?

Cheers

You can use a FlowLayoutPanel and a loop like this:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {   flowLayoutPanel1.FlowDirection = FlowDirection.LeftToRight;   flowLayoutPanel1.AutoSize = true;   flowLayoutPanel1.WrapContents = false; //or true, whichever you like   flowLayoutPanel1.Controls.Clear();    for (char c = 'A'; c <= 'Z'; c++)   {     Label letter = new Label();     letter.Text = c.ToString();     letter.AutoSize = true;     letter.Click += new EventHandler(letter_Click);     flowLayoutPanel1.Controls.Add(letter);    } }  private void letter_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {   MessageBox.Show('You clicked on ' + ((Label)sender).Text); }
