If you want to check which of the textboxes have information, or which radio button was clicked, you can iterate through a loop in an OK button.
If you want to be able to click individual array items and have them respond to events, add in the Form_load loop the following:
AddHandler buttons(counter).Clicked AddressOf All_Buttons_Clicked
then create
Private Sub All_Buttons_Clicked(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
'some code here, can check to see which checkbox was changed, which button was clicked, by number or text
End Sub
when you call: objectYouCall.numberOfButtons = initial_value_from_main_program
response_yes_or_no_or_other = objectYouCall.ShowDialog()
For radio buttons, textboxes, same story, different ending.
