unit Unit1;
interface
uses SysUtils, WinTypes, WinProcs, Messages, Classes,
Graphics, Controls, Forms, Dialogs, StdCtrls;
type
TForm1 = class(TForm)
Button1: TButton;
Button2: TButton;
procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
procedure Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
private
public
end;
var Form1: TForm1;
implementation
{$R *.DFM}
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
hBtn: TButton;
begin
hBtn := TButton.create(Application);
hBtn.parent := Form1;
hBtn.caption := 'New Button';
hBtn.OnClick := Button2.OnClick;
hBtn.show;
end;
procedure TForm1.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
ShowMessage((Sender as TButton).Caption);
end;
end.
