Solution 1

Handle the Click event, the sender argument passed to the event handler will be the source control. Use MsgBox to display the Text property of that Control.

Solution 2

Hi, here is one solution (in C#) for a button click event handler. Just use the click event handler of your own control.

C#

private void btn_click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  Button button = sender as Button;
  if(button != null)
  {
    MessageBox.Show(button.Text);
  }
}
