Recently i worked on a VB. I have to know how can create controls Dynamically on the run time and how can access these controls on the runtime??
Ex: I want to Create 10 checkboxes at runtime. After creating Checkboxes Dynamically how can i access these Checkboxes?? like i create Checkbox Called "chkAll" , If i check "ChkAll" checkbox then all Dynamic Checkboxes should be Check otherwise UnCheck?
I've been building controls for many years professionally and personally, but even back in VB6 days I just could not work this out. After all this time I remembered about it again.If I create a usercontrol/containercontrol and add one or more controls to the controls surface, I just cannot figure out how to access the controls at design time.
View 4 RepliesI've got a couple of these NumericUpDown controls I put on a form. Without describing too much about the form I basically want to update some variables each time one of these NumUD controls changes value. So for each NumUD I have a call to a Recalculate subroutine within their "changedValue" event.
There are actually two problems. First, if I initialize the "Value" property to something other than zero in VB2010 at DESIGN TIME it won't even open the form when I hit RUN. It gives me a "No Source Available. No symbols loaded for any call stack frame" error. The error box says "InvalidOperationException" was not handled. So if I try to set the initial value of the Value property to anything but zero of either I get this error.

I wanted to know if anyone could tell me how to access the Click_event.I have a boarderles form with a panel control which has the Dock property set to fill and on the panel I have placed a Label also with the Dock property set to fill. I also have a timer running.How can I get code to execute in the Label1 click event.I've tried doing it by using the generic Click_event and also with two variations of the Click_event Handles parameters
'Alternativ 1:
Private Sub Form1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Label1.Click

I am making an application that uses multiple WebBrowser controls, and multiple proxies.The code for changing the proxy settings are as such:
#Region "Proxy"
Public Structure Struct_INTERNET_PROXY_INFO
Public dwAccessType As Integer
Public proxy As IntPtr
[code]....
Note: getRandomProxy gets a random proxy from a list.Problem is that whenever RefreshIESettings(getRandomProxy()) is applied, the proxy will be applied to all of the WebBrowsers, while i would need to have a unique proxy for each WebBrowser. Not having this would just error out the page in the other browsers and so on.
I am using VB2008 express and I have created a form etc.
But any changes I make in the IDE dont appear in the run time. It seems to revert to another version at run time and I dont know how. I have tried adding new code, i tested this with a 'form load messagebox', but it does not appear. I also added a new button and resized the form but none of these changes are appearing, I really have no clue as to what is happening. I have turned of the veriosning in the project settings.
When adding controls to a form at runtime, you can do either of the following:

Let's say I wanted to create 3 panels(Panel1, Panel2, Panel3) at runtime, and create a label(Panel1Label, Panel2Label, Panel3Label) inside each panel. This far I know how to do it.
The problem arises in that I don't know how to write a Sub for the event of clicking one of these run-time created Panels or Labels. When I try with
Code:
Private Sub Panel3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Panel3.Click
...it tells me "Handles clause requires a WithEvents variable defined in the containing type or one of it's base types"
Also, if someone could teach me how to use some kind of array to create these controls at run-time, I'd love it, considering I may need to create up to 50 of them at some point.

I'm having PURCHASE, SALES tables...
In sales form, i need to create CONTROLS during RUN-TIME...
i.e, when we gone for shopping to a DEPARTMENT store, we buy LOT things... they will give us only one BILL... when they are entering BILL, they will enter only CODE of the product, all the other particulars will be loaded automatically... if v buy 10 items, there will be 10 items in BILL... if it s 15, 15 in bill...
i need to create like this only...
i.e in SALES form, CODE, CATEGORY, BRAND, S.P, DATE, QUANTITY, TOTAL etc., are available... when i click a BUTTON say NEXT, the controls specified(CODE, CATEGORY, BRAND, S.P, DATE, QUANTITY, TOTAL) has to be created automatically, in same size,and in same COLUMN (in form)(i.e CODE is a COMBO BOX, WHEN I PRESS NEXT another COMBO BOX has to be created in same COLUMN), whenever i press the NEXT...
and also, when i press SAVE BUTTON, ALL THE DETAILS HAVE TO BE STORED IN DATABASE...
I know the concept of CONTROL ARRAY... but i don't know how to implement in vb.net...
I have a form which has many textboxes on it, some are dynamically generated and some are not. They structure is something like this:
[Code]...
Is there a way to create a collection of all of the textboxes so that I can access all at any time? Like when I need to clear them, or when I need to compare them. Right now I either access them one by one, like textbox1.text or I run a loop starting from the main flowlayoutcontrol, going inside, testing if control is another flowlayout, then going deeper and so on. Seems like there should be another simpler way to do this though, is there?
I am developing a form where I want the user to enter a complete recipe. In any recipe, I have no way to know how many different ingredients or how many steps will be involved. So if I am using a row consisting of a textbox, a combobox, and a textbox to represent 1 ingredient. how do I generate a dynamic number of these controls at run time? I have the same problem when I store the steps in creating the recipe. I need to create a dynamic number of textboxes to record each step.
View 8 RepliesI'm making a quite large database management program(well actually 3 databases) and I am going to be creating a tab page for each database and under that a tab page for each table. each database has +- 200 tables and each of those has between 10 and 50 columns. I am also gonna put controls on each tab page of a table that represent a a row of data.I need very specific tooltips, functions for each table so generating it would be to complicated for me.
I need a automated way of creating controls on design time depending on the column datatype like a rich edit, text box or numeric up or down. and a label that has the same text as the column name It should also rename the name of the control to something appropriate .This can be done using visual studio's database wizard, but last time when I was about 30% done with one database it had already auto generated more than 1000000 lines of code. When I ran my program it took 10 minutes to show the first form and I have a powerful pc.
I vaguely remember something about a hotkey or menu that would group controls together at design time so you could drag 2 or more controls around and they would remain relative to eachother. You could work on something else and come back and the controls would still be grouped.
Does anybody know what this feature is called and how I can access it?
I Put together this bit of code. What the problem im having is Removing a Label after i place the code its in a select end slecte code . The Problem is in red.
the code
Dim Animals As String = (TextBox1.Text)
Select Case Animals
Case "Apples"

Everything works Accept the remove selection ... I think it has something to do with Dim LB As New Label() ... And ... Me.Controls.Remove(LB)
When I click a cell or a row in a datagridview I want to be able to open a new form with several textboxes and comboboxes in it and to be able to edit the selected row. The only thing I managed to do so far, was to fill a texbox from the form with the info from the sellected cell using the following code.
Dim
cell As

I have the following code which is used by 7 comboboxes, the only difference is the combobox1 to 7 and the DataGridView5 to 11. In VB6 I would have used arrays, is there any way to write the code once or do I have 7 ComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged subs.

My application has a TabControl which has 5 tab pages. Each page represents a "department" and each department has to run this software. So when the user opens the application, they navigate to their department's page.
The software runs a serious of automated and manual tests. The tests are customized for each department. But I need to update the UI during each section of the test.
On the main tab, there is one panel that has 17 PictureBoxes. Each PictureBox represents one test. The PictureBox can either represent a test in progress, a test passed, or a test failed.
All of the tests are in their own code files, for the most part. And in the main form is when I call the tests and update the UI from a single method.
The issue I'm having is how to update the PictureBoxes without creating a bunch of redundant code.
When the test runs, I update the first PictureBox with "in progress", then when it completes, it's update again with pass or fail. So for a single test, I could need to place the UI update in several places, within the same code block, for planning out all the possible conditions.[code]...
I was using a time picker which returns the date and time together. This was making for me problems since i am comparing this value with a database column of type time only. Tried another free time picker control but when assigning it to a repeater and when it comes to define the data source of repeater and writting the SQL Query I cant select the time picker control from the drop down list simply because it is not available.any other time picker controls with a stylish look and effecient?
View 1 RepliesNow as the title says, I'm looking for guidance on some design-time support for the many custom controls I'm working on at the moment.At the moment I'm 3 months in on a Business and Inventory management system for my mothers business. It contains many, many custom controls I had to build from scratch because the ones provided just didn't cut it for what I needed. Now one in particular is a tab page control. Just as the provided TabControl Visual Studios supply's us. It has a lot of design time control. Such as clicking the tabs and adding controls to the panels being brought to front by the corresponding tab being clicked. I had a friend of mine try to show me what I had to do, but the way I had already built my control would have made it difficult - His words, so he never officially showed me anything. If it is true what he said then I can skip that, no problem. But adding the controls to the panels during design time I must have, but cannot seem to find anything through Google searches, text books or even kids majoring in software engineering.
View 4 RepliesIn VB6 I would simply retrieve the user font setting from the .ini file, load into variables and then apply to the appropriate control.
text1.fontbold = userfontbold
text1.fontitalic = userfontitalic
text1.fontunderline = userfontunderline
etc.
I'm struggling to understand how to do this vb.net The following code works, but sets all three at one time
Text1.Font = New Font("Courier", 10, FontStyle.Bold Or FontStyle.Italic Or FontStyle.Underline)Since the user can have many different combinations of settings, I would like to be able to add just one of these properties at a time, but can't seem to figure out how to do it.

This sounds simple and I'm sure it is. I have a form with textboxes and combo boxes within a tabview that has 8 tabs. All the data is loaded from a database. The user has the ability to update these controls and then update the record in the database. Is there a way that I can check an entire tab view or group of controls for value change other than using an if statement to cycle through each control?

View 3 RepliesHas anyone tried using controls from different sources into their application that uses winforms? Will these combination of controls work together?
View 3 RepliesI have eight NumericUpDown controls in my form, I call them NumericUpDown_1 thru NumericUpdown 8. I first noticed when I set a breakpoint in say NumericUpDown_1 routine and have code inside this routine to manipulate say NumericUpdown_6's value, the code would immediate jump to NumericUpdown_6 routine because the value changed. This makes sense since the handler fires due to the default handler - numericUpDown_valuechanges. But I do not want this to happen so I removed the handlers for all NumericUpdownX routines, one thru eight and instead I use "addhandler" and "removehandler" statements inside the individual routines to "mask off" this problem every time I change a numericUpDown.Value that is not in it's own routine.
My problem is this does not work. What I found is if I use removehandler numericUPDown_x.valuechange addressof numericUpdown_valuechange statement the coding would work however when I'm done in that routine I follow up with addhandler numericUpDown... statement and I'm back to the same problem. A different numericUpDown routine will fire because I changed it's value in another routine but I had the handler removed before I changed it's value so I don't understand. It's almost like it remembered that it's value changed as soon as I turned back on the handler using addhandler. I'm working with Visual Basic 2010.
