Set the Tag property in the form designer on each button in the group to a
unique word and use SELECT ... END SELECT:

SELECT last.Tag
  CASE "NameOf1stButton"
    ...
  CASE "NameOf2ndButton"
    ...
  CASE ...
    ...
  ...
  ...
  DEFAULT
    ...
END SELECT

To choose the code to run (based on the button) in the event handler for
the group.
