If I'm following you correctly, I would create a form method MyMethod

with a parameter. In the button click, I'd either call

Thisform.MyMethod(1) (Where the numeric is different for each button),

or better yet ThisForm.MyMethod(this.name) (allowing for exactly the

same code in each button)

Then in the method, use a CASE statement, and proceed from there.
