Accepted answer
It would be possible to have the Click event of all 32 buttons handled by a single method.

You simply create a Click handler for the first button and then, in the Properties Box for the other 31 buttons, choose this method from the dropdown list for their Click events.

The code for the handler could be quite simple (on the lines of Satyapriya's post above) as long as any button can be clicked more than once within the total of 7 clicks allowed for all the buttons.

However, if a button can be clicked at most once then a more complicated approach would be needed - the degree of complication would depend on whether the names you've given to the buttons are in sequence e.g. button1, button2 etc.

Incidentally, if you have a single handler for all 32 buttons, then you can get the Name property of the button clicked as follows:

Button btn = (Button)Sender;
string name = btn.Name;

Hi Black,

You want to increment Count for a Button inside of a GroupBox is Clicked not for a Button Outside of GroupBox .

I attached Source Code with this mail.Hope it will be useful for you.

Hi Black,

Try this

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        int Clicks;
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Clicks ++ ;
            this.label1.Text = "Button has been clicked::: " + Clicks + (Clicks == 1 ? " time." : " times.");
            if (Clicks == 7)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Sorry you cannot click");
                this.Close();
            }
        }


    }
}
