C# Method Wait For User Click

I am trying to write a method that loops and repeatedly calls other methods. There is a single place inside the loop that I need to pause and wait for a user to click one of several buttons on the GUI. I have done this with command line code before, but I'm not sure how to wait and check it any buttons have been clicked. If someone could help me out, I would be very grateful. Below is an example of what I woul开发者_如何学Cd like to do.

While(MoreLeftToD0){
Method1();
WaitForUserToClickButton();
If(Button1 was clicked)
    ProcessWithButton1();
else
    ProcessWithButton2(); }

EDIT: I think a bit more info may help, and perhaps I am thinking about this incorrectly. I am trying to build a simple game that has 2 players 0, 1, or 2 of these players may be bots and the other(s) will be humans. I want a basic Player class that has Human and Bot classes which inherit from Player.

The loop is for the game board and I want to just be able to call CurrentPlayer.GetMove(gameBoard) which, for the bot, will pass the game board in and let them decide on a move. However, if it is a human, GetMove() should wait for the user to click the button on the GUI stating what they want to do on the board and then process the click accordingly.

Hopefully this will clear up the purpose a bit. If there is a better way to do this, I'd love to hear suggestions. Thanks!

Typically, you would do this by splitting up the work to be done before, and the work to be done after, the button click.

Part1()
{
  DoSomething();
  btn.Enabled = true;
}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  btn1.Enabled = false;
  Part2();
}

Do something, enable the button, which you've hooked to the button1_Click event handler, and when the user clicks the button, disable it so he can't click it again.

No need to do all this.

All you need is to use event handler in the Windows Form.

Here's a walkthrough that you can read.

For example, in C#, you can subscribe to the event, and write whatever logic you have in mind in the following code:

private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) 
{
// Add event-handler code here.
}

So, in WinForms you already have a message loop. The way you deal with this is by subscribing to button click events. This article below may help clear some things up for you:

If this is not what you meant please update and I will try to edit accordingly.

From what you describe in the comments on michael's post, you might be better off inheriting from an IPlayer interface, or if Part1 and Part2 are identical, a base class.

public class Player
{
    protected void Part1() { /* ... */ };
    protected void Part2() { /* ... */ };
}

public class HumanPlayer : Player
{
    public void GetMove()
    {
        Part1();
        GetMouseClick();
        Part2();
    }
}

public class BotPlayer : Player
{
    public void GetMove()
    {
        Part1();
        Part2();
    }
}

That way you've just got Player objects which, you still can treat the same.

List<Player> players = new List<Player>()
    {
        new BotPlayer(), 
        new HumanPlayer()
    };

// ...

foreach (Player p in this.players)
    p.GetMove();
