Solution 1

You have to "remember" where you were when you clicked the button, so at class level, create a varaiable:

private TextBox lastUsed = null;

Handle the Leave event for all of the three textboxes with the same handler, and do this:

private void allMyTextBoxes_Leave(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    lastUsed = sender as TextBox;
    }

Then, in your button click event, you can do this:

private void butPutTextInLastTextBox_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    if (lastUsed != null)
        {
        lastUsed.Text = "Hello";
        }
    }

Thank u so much...
it will work.. but lastUsed.Text +="Hello" this is exactly i want.

OriginalGriff 7-Jun-11 5:29am

Yes - a string, is a string, is a string:
lastUsed.Text += myLabel.Text;

if i enter "Reservation conformed to $Name$ on $Date$"
$Name$ and $Date$ enter through button clicking. reaming i entered normally.
name and date are variables. name and date color is blue and remaining black.

OriginalGriff 7-Jun-11 6:26am

Your would need to set up a number of labels:
1) "Reservation confirmed to "
2) For the $Name$
3) " on "
4) For the $Date$
The reason being that you can't change color in a label, or a text box - everything is the same color. Then all you need to do is "fill in the blanks" and set the name and date labels.

Solution 2

C#

buttonName.Click += (sender, eventArgs) => {
    myTextBox.Text =
        myTextBox.Text.Insert(
            myTextBox.Text.SelectionStart,
            myLabel.Text);
};
