I have set up a control array by making a class and using clickhandlers. What i need to do, is when the user clicks a control, i need that control to change position. I tried setting it up the same way as the message box i set up (below) but it didnt work.

MessageBox.Show("you have picked " & CType(CType(sender, _ System.Windows.Forms.Button).Tag, String) & " dollars.")

Could you give me more code to look at? Like, the whole code for the class object and what you have tryed so far? Maybe what the error messages where saying...

Im on a business trip, i will check back in tomorrow evening when i get back to my hotel room.

Sure

O_O

What are you using this class to do? I am going to paste it into my developer studio and take a peak at the code, probably will post an edit on this once I have an idea on whats going on. When you let me know what your up to with this class I might have some suggestions for you in regards to how you wrote the code.

i am using the whole code to set up Deal or No Deal. This is the only way i found in Vb.net to make a control array and so far most of it works well all cases have a different random integer and right now my problem is i need the first case (its a button control) i click to move to a different place on the form. I am not sure if i need to somehow remove it from the array (i think that is possible MSDN says so lol)

I am not sure why you want to do the Button array, but check this code out. I have created an Array of 27 (0-26) buttons and am able to click on one and return its column and row position based off the Tag number. It uses one function that is added to each button. Just create a windows for, and paste this code in (might need to save the Windows Designer code from your new form)

Public Class Form33
    Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

    'This is just a test program to see if I can
    'come up with a different way of doing this button
    'array BS without using a Class object

    Dim Butts(26) As Windows.Forms.Button

    Private Sub Form33_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

        Dim row As Integer
        Dim col As Integer

        For x As Integer = 0 To 26
            Butts(x) = New Windows.Forms.Button
            Butts(x).Tag = x
            Butts(x).Text = "B" & x.ToString
            row = Math.Floor(x / 9) + 1
            col = (x Mod 9) + 1
            Butts(x).Top = 2 + ((row - 1) * 32)
            Butts(x).Left = 2 + ((col - 1) * 32)
            Butts(x).Width = 32
            Butts(x).Height = 32

            Me.Controls.Add(Butts(x))
            AddHandler Butts(x).Click, AddressOf ButtClick
        Next x

    End Sub

    Sub ButtClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

        Dim T As String = CType(sender, System.Windows.Forms.Button).Tag
        Dim Row As Integer = Math.Floor(CInt(T) / 9) + 1
        Dim Col As Integer = (CInt(T) Mod 9) + 1
        MsgBox("Row and Col derived from the Tag on " & CType(sender, System.Windows.Forms.Button).Text & " is " & Row & ", " & Col)

    End Sub
