How to Use a UIToolkit button to control other UI elements?

Question

 var a = UIButton.create("a_1.PNG", "a_2",0,0);
 a.onTouchUpInside += onTouchUpInsidea;

void onTouchUpInsidea (UIButton obj) {

}

First of all, this is how to init a UIButton of UIToolkit by Prime31. In the method onTouchUpInsidea, I got only one parameter, obj. Therefore, I can only control the button itself, or some other UIButton.

What if I'd like to control multi-ui elements? I cannot pass multi parameter into onTouchUpInsidea. And I'd like to set these UI elements local vars, instead of some class properties in the beginning of the class.

Actually I have to say that I'm not familiar with the delegate and event system of C#. But I'm thinking about that gotta be some approach for controlling multi buttons in UIToolkit.

Thank you very much.

I'm not sure if this is what you are asking for, but here is how I made one button change another button to be selected:

     UIToggleButton applyButton = UIToggleButton.create("VSS_ItemW.png", "VSS_ItemW__.png", "VSS_ItemW__.png", 0, 0); 
     UIToggleButton button6Button = UIToggleButton.create("VSS_Button6.png", "VSS_Button1.png", "VSS_Button1.png", 0, 400); 
     applyButton.onToggle += (sender, newValue) => button6Button.selected = newValue;

When 'applyButton' is clicked 'button6Button' is also set to be selected. I'm assuming that instead of 'button6Button.selected = newValue;' you could have it call a function.

I have only used this toolkit for 3.5 hours today so that's the extent of my knowledge :P. Good Luck!
