C# - guide with Event Handler Not Firing for Dynamically Created Controls in WinForms
I've been banging my head against this for hours. I'm wondering if anyone has experience with I've been banging my head against this for hours. Does anyone know how to I've been struggling with this for a few days now and could really use some help... I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but I'm currently working with an scenario where an event handler I've assigned to a dynamically created button in a WinForms application is not firing as expected. I'm using .NET 6, and I've set up the button inside a loop that generates multiple buttons based on user input. Here's how I'm creating the buttons: ```csharp for (int i = 0; i < numberOfButtons; i++) { Button dynamicButton = new Button(); dynamicButton.Text = "Button " + (i + 1); dynamicButton.Location = new Point(10, 10 + (i * 30)); dynamicButton.Click += DynamicButton_Click; this.Controls.Add(dynamicButton); } ``` However, when I click the buttons, I don't see any response. I've defined the event handler like this: ```csharp private void DynamicButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { MessageBox.Show(((Button)sender).Text + " clicked!"); } ``` I've confirmed that the buttons are being added to the form correctly by checking their presence in the `Controls` collection, but the click event doesn't seem to trigger. I've also tried explicitly calling `dynamicButton.PerformClick()` after adding to the controls, but that didn't help either. Is there a possible reason why the event handler would not be firing in this case? Could it be related to the form's state or is there something I'm missing in how I'm adding the buttons? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. This is part of a larger service I'm building. Is there a better approach? For context: I'm using C# on Windows. The stack includes C# and several other technologies. Is this even possible? I'm working with C# in a Docker container on Ubuntu 22.04. Any feedback is welcome! Thanks in advance! I've been using C# for about a year now. Has anyone dealt with something similar?
