Me.activecontrols not working

Hi,
I have a toolstripcontainer defined and i have 2 buttons inside the toolstrip. I want to use the Me.Activecontrols.Name to check the button that was clicked, but it always returns the toolstrip control name. Let me know how to get the button that was clicked with Me.ActiveControls.Name

Private

Sub btn_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btn.Click

MsgBox(

Me.ActiveControl.Name)

End Sub

Thanks,
Kris

Which button was clicked is passed in the 'sender' object. You can directcast that to a toolstrip button to work with it, or check the .Name property (i.e. If sender.Name = 'whatever' ...) and go from there.
