Hi All,

Say you have an array of button objects named buttonA, buttonB, etc, and a
corresponding array of event objects named eventA, eventB, etc. I am
trying to find a clean way to link buttonX.Clicked with an action on
eventX.

When a button is clicked, the handler will be passed a reference to that
button object. Extracting the name of the button and changing the string
from "buttonX" to "eventX" is easy. I am having problems trying to use the
string "eventX" to reference the event object of the same name. Any ideas?
If the process is as clean as I hope it is, it's probably one line of code.

If anyone has a reference (or code snippet) for how to do this, it would
be greatly appreciated.

-Pete
