What is the IDE telling you? If I mock up your situation the error message the IDE provides is "Handles clause requires a WithEvents variable." Which means you need to declare your button Public WithEvents btnTest as Button.

The swiggly line is appearing right after the handles keyword. Here's how I'm declaring it. right inside my "Public Class frmMain", I have this line: "Public btnTest As Button". I have this subroutine to assign the properties (I'm building a test application to programmatically put different controls on a form so I know what I'm doing before I use them in the final program): Public Sub CreateNewButton() btnTest = New Button btnTest.Left = txtTest.Left btnTest.Top = txtTest.Top + txtTest.Height + 5 btnTest.Width = lblTest.Width + 20 btnTest.Height = txtTest.Height btnTest.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.CadetBlue btnTest.Text = "This button can spy on you now." btnTest.TabIndex = 2 End Sub in my form's load event, I have the following two lines of code (among others): Me.CreateNewButton() Me.Controls.Add(btnTest) Below my form's load event, I have this code: Private Sub btnTest_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnTest.Click Me.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Wheat End Sub [Yea, I know that's something stupid to do, but I was looking for an easy way to know if the click event was working] The swiggly line keeps showing up on the "btnTest" right after the word "Handles".
