Detect if any control inside a TableLayoutPanel is clicked

Question

Hello !
Is there any way to detect if any  of the controls inside a TableLaoutPanel is clicked ?
( I mean without using Click event for each control ).
I try using MouseClick's event of TableLayoutPanel , but this doesn't fire when a control is clicked.
Thank you !

Assuming that you set up your TableLayoutPanel purely in code, then it's just a matter of using AddHandler and direct it to
the appropriate event handler sub. Do be sure that something (like the control's name) is unique - that's how you'll later identify it. You can also put a string (or any object, actually) in the .Tag property, but the name is the easiest.
When calling it in code, call it using the event handler sub's name and for the two parameters, just use:
SubNameHere(Nothing, Nothing)
In each event handler code you just test whether or not the sender is null (directly) or use
TryCast. If TryCast fails then it's because the sub was called in code; if it passes then test the name of the control in the casting operation
and you'll know which control was clicked.
Still lost in code, just at a little higher level.
