@OriginalGriff, I had pre-assigned a value to the ".Tag" property of each of the controls, and in the event handler, I would simply extract the value of the ".Tag" property of the current sender, and use it, so I didn't need to use a switch statement.

The idea of a generic updater seems very extensible. As it stands, using teh .Tag property means that I cannot change the current tag data without changing how the event handler handles the sender events.

How would I go about this generic updater, and from which function/event handler would I call it from. This is an event driven app.

Is there a better way, that allows scalability and extensibility of the program?

@prathameshpitale , that is exactly what I did. I grouped the handlers of similar controls, e.g. radio buttons selecting clock frequency, and wired them to one function.

This works well. I just wonder if there isn't a better way, maybe something built into the framework?

@CodingK, the question I am asking would actually have no bearing on the tools used for the actual programming of the PIC. It's really more of a GUI problem than PICs themselves. I mentioned the PIC for completeness of the question.
