This is for a class, but our teacher had to go on medical leave, and the substitute doesn't know anything about coding, so I am completely stuck. I created dynamic labels in a groupbox for the words that are randomly selected, and there are buttons that are not dynamic with the letters on them. I am not sure how to reference the "non-existent" labels, and I could not find anything that said that you can reference all items in a groupbox at once. The program will not load, seeing as it is an error to reference specific dynamic elements. I need to find a way to check the letter that is clicked against the letter that should be in the label (created via an array). I have been fighting with this for the past week, so any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
