Sorry, I misunderstood the question. Try this instead: private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { Button dynButton = new Button(); dynButton.Name = "dynButton"; dynButton.Location = new Point(50, 100); // say dynButton.Size = new Size(160, 150); //say dynButton.Text = "CLICK HERE!"; // set other button properties this.Controls.Add(dynButton); /* repeat code for creating textboxes and labels as often as needed */ TextBox dynTextBox = new TextBox(); dynTextBox.Name = "dynTextBox"; dynTextBox.Location = new Point(10, 10); // say // set other textbox properties dynButton.Controls.Add(dynTextBox); Label dynLabel = new Label(); dynLabel.Name = "dynLabel"; dynLabel.Location = new Point(10, 110); // say dynLabel.Text = "[Empty]"; // set other label properties dynButton.Controls.Add(dynLabel); // add handler for dynButton.Click event dynButton.Click += (sender2, e2) => { dynLabel.Text = dynTextBox.Text; // just for illustration }; // create arrow button outside and to right of dynButton Button arrowButton = new Button(); arrowButton.Name = "arrowButton"; arrowButton.Location = new Point(210, 100); arrowButton.Size = new Size(30, 150); //say arrowButton.Text = ">>"; // set other arrow button properties this.Controls.Add(arrowButton); }

Well, the 'standard' Windows Forms button is always rectangular and so, if you want an arrow shaped button, you'll need to use a custom control instead. I found one here on Code Project which may fit the bill: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/11625/Custom-Arrow-Button

Try something like this: private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { Button dynButton = new Button(); dynButton.Name = "dynButton"; dynButton.Location = new Point(100, 100); // say dynButton.Text = "Click me"; // set other button properties this.Controls.Add(dynButton); Button arrowButton = new Button(); arrowButton.Name = "arrowButton"; arrowButton.Location = new Point(180, 100); // say arrowButton.Text = ">"; // set other arrow button properties this.Controls.Add(arrowButton); dynButton.Click += (sender2, e2) => { /* repeat as often as needed */ TextBox dynTextBox = new TextBox(); dynTextBox.Name = "dynTextBox"; dynTextBox.Location = new Point(100, 150); // say // set other textbox properties this.Controls.Add(dynTextBox); Label dynLabel = new Label(); dynLabel.Name = "dynLabel"; dynLabel.Location = new Point(100, 200); // say dynLabel.Text = "Whatever"; // set other label properties this.Controls.Add(dynLabel); }; }
