I need to change backcolor to multiple buttons(ex. 15 buttons) at once. I mean,I dont want to write the code
" button1.backcolor=color.red " 15 times!! Any ideas?

gergobaros,

Use the controls collection. If all your buttons begin with the same prefix (ex btnbuttonname), then it should be fairly simple to check that the control you have is a button and change the backcolor color.

Thanks! I'll try that and report back how it went.

It works! This is how I wrote the code:

Buttons are named: Button1, Button2....

       For i As Integer = 1 To 15
            Me.Controls("Button" & i).BackColor = Color.Blue
        Next i

Thanks SolidAir!!

gergobaros,

I have not seen it done this way, but as long as it works, its works.
