generic list of buttons that have check property of checkbox that looks like a button.

'need to create at runtime 'n' buttons that have a 'checked' property (1 or 0)

Public SelectFrames As New System.Collections.Generic.List(Of Button) '

' or create 'n' checkboxes that look like buttons.

Public SelectFrames As New System.Collections.Generic.List(Of Checkbox)

Each button must have a 'checked' property so that the application can keep track of how many items have been selected on a corresponding graphical display and which ones.

Are there any properties I can already use for the existing controls to achieve this or do I have to create a new class inheriting either the button or checkbox controls and then subclassing off a new property

Thanks for any ideas.. (if this is clear) -greg

**********************The application has a variable number of items that vary from 1 to 32. When the form loads, the items on the graphical display panel must have a corresponding button in a separate dashboard for each item. If the graphical display only happens to have two items, there will only be 2 buttons, each one 1/2 the width of a panel container. If there are 32 items, 32 buttons will be created, each one 1/32 the width of the panel containing them in one horizontal row.
