well actually im trying to implement this on a flowlayout panel and i wonder whether it's possible?

It is possible, I just tested it (WinForms).
Ruel  2010-09-30 02:44:41
but my program has this scenario which the buttons are not present right when you open it . well it has a tool which creates a button on runtime
jonny  2010-09-30 02:55:33
Well, you cannot select multiple buttons at runtime.
Ruel  2010-09-30 03:28:51
okay anyway thanks a lot you answered my question

+2  A: 

If you're talking about during design-time, just hold Ctrl while clicking each button...or click and drag the mouse to select the buttons you're interested in.

If you're talking about run-time...you can only click one button at a time.

even after creating one by one on runtime too?

+1  A: 

Assuming you're talking about the form designer:

  • Draw a selection box around the controls you'd like to select
  • Hold down ctrl + click or shift+click on the control you'd like to select in addition to your current control.
  • To select all contorls you can use Ctrl + A and then then you can subtract from your selecting using ctrl + click or shift + click

Surprisingly there is an MSDN page which describes the process.

i've seen that page but i don't think it helps on a flowlayout panel
