Solution 1

Don't use buttons - 26 of them is a pain: you can do it, just add 26 buttons, give each a Text property between "A" and "Z" then give them all the same Click handler:

private void CharacterKey__Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
   {
   Button b = sender as Button;
   if (b != null)
      {
      string pressed = b.Text;
      ...
      }
   }

But I'd handle the TextChanged event of the TextBox, get the character from there and clear the TextBox instead. That doesn't need ENTER to work.

Um i have a question , i dont say that its a textbox and i add the letter with the keyboard ther a do click in a button to enter the letter , can you say me or explain me how i can remove it or change it, because i want to enter the letters only with the buttons and with the keyboard but no write it in a textbox and do click .

OriginalGriff 29-May-17 3:51am

Um ... yes you do: "it have a textbox but i want to use buttons ..."
Please, try to explain in fuller terms exactly what you want to do - using shorthand doesn't help because I get no context other than exactly what you type!

Esteban Flores Villegas 29-May-17 3:58am

the game have a textbox with a button to play, then if i put buttons 26 A to Z to play it how can i do it? to remove the textbox and the button, and play with only the other buttons A-Z , and dont use the textbox

OriginalGriff 29-May-17 4:13am

I told you how to do that: "just add 26 buttons, ... "
WHich part is difficult for you? I'll try to explain in more detail.
