vb.net can't get it to run script on button click

Question

I've created a button, but can't get it to run the msgbox("click") when I click.. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Private Sub main_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
With mybut
mybut.AutoSize = True
mybut.Name = "delete-btn" & btn_number
mybut.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(500, 20)
mybut.Text = "Delete"
End With
End Sub

Private Sub mybut_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
MsgBox("Click")
End Sub

You don't need mybut in the With. You can just type .PropName (e.g., .AutoSize = True) — valverij

You need a Handles for your button click

Private Sub mybut_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles mybut.Click
MsgBox("Click")
End Sub

If it is a dynamic button you need to add an event handler

AddHandler mybut.Click, AddressOf Me.mybut_Click

Tried that but then I get an error on my handles saying that "Handles Clause requires a WithEvents variable defined in the containing type or one of its base types".. Don't even know what that means, I'm very new at this.

@user2989415 do you create the button dynamically or using the designer?

In that case you need to add event handlers for the button when you create it. I will update my answer to help

Ok, now I've tried to put the addhandler at different places in the script, but doesn't really seem to make a difference?

Add it just after you create the button, as it's dynamic you won't need the Handles mybut.Click
