I've created a code that will add a control on runtime.
Sub Button_AddNewGradeEquivalent_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button_AddNewGradeEquivalent.Click
Dim newGradeRepresentation As New TextBox
Dim newGradeCondition As New ComboBox
Dim newGradePercentage As New TextBox
TextBoxItems += 1

is there a tutorial (i looked, couldn't find) on adding controls at runtime?
View 8 RepliesIn the helpfiles of Visual Studio 2008 I read control arrays are no longer supported. There is an example for the new situation but then you need to hard code the names of all the controls beforehand.I do not know how many controls I need, could be one or 5000 (think simple image browser). Is it still possible to create something like that or should I change to a different programming language like Phyton? At the moment I work around it by using a browser control and then manipulate the <img> tags but I'm puzzeld as to why this functionality was removed and if there's a solution to the problem.Another thing I don't understand is where the app goes when it's installed with 'Click once'. It dissappears completely, doesn't show up in 'Program Files', can not be found by the search function but it *is* somewhere because you can start it form the Start menu. However, I use data which is in a subfolder of the program folder, which I nor my program can find any more after the app is installed. The program runs but it can't find any place to put/get its data so in the end it doesn't work.
I work around it by *not* installing the program but have people just run it after unpacking the downloaded folder. This works great but I wonder how long this will be the case until Microsoft disables this possibility? I have no idea why they would, but I also have no idea why they did remove the functionality I mentioned above. I already changed to PHP and MySQL because I had to throw away my carefully built W2K+MSAccess image database a few years ago and after installing Vista Visual Studio 2005 was a goner. OK, I upgraded but then no control arrays any more and now they hide the apps when you install them? Why on earth would they do that?
I am very interested to see the answer as I would like to know the significant differences (if any) of generally using one more than the other. In a few days, I will be starting my Java programming class to familiarize myself with the language.I do know that Java uses objects.My question/discussion is not necessarily related to .NET (although in a way, it is); my question is more about what is a better practice and why.Is it more proper to declare buttons and such through runtime rather than designer? Is it just more work typing everything? Or does build and run much faster?

Updating a VB6 prog in VS2005 on Windows 7. The prog has an MDI + child forms and there are a number of content types, with varying numbers of controls being set up and positioned from setup files.On forms which are not child forms I can easily add controls at run time like this:
Dim lab As New Label
With lab
.Left = 0 : .Top = 0
.Width = 800 : .Height = 800
[code]....
This doesn't work on a child form, no label is visible. Can't see any obvious problem in quickwatch.

I am working with my project and I have difficulties in my program. This is the set-up: I put a textbox1 and a button1 in the form, textbox1 is for the property of the label text to be add
when I click the button1 I have another textbox, label and a button,I want the added button to remove the textbox, label and if possible the button itself, is there a way to delete a control by the added button?

I have a WinForms application that I need to dynamically add controls to at runtime. I searched for this and I was initially led to the TableLayoutPanel (TLP).
View 4 RepliesHow do you add an arbitrary number of controls to a form at run time? With indexed controls I could define the 'seed' control at design time and reference 'clones' of the 'seed' control at run time via the index. Now I must declare each additional instance of the control at run time then set each individual property that differs from the default for that control for each instance. Then I must add the newly declared control to the appropriate container controls collection. I'd like to do this in a loop but how can I get away from using a fixed control name in the declaration:
Dim controlname As New Control
I can't use a string that I can manipulate the contents of for controlname because it sees it as a double declaration. I can't use an array such as Control(index) for controlname. Dim Control(maxindex) As New Control doesn't work. Dim Control(maxindex) As Control works but any assignment based on this such as Control(indexvalue).Name = "ControlName" fails. It didn't address the issue of handling the declaration of new controls in a loop with some kind of variable name for the control.
I have created multiple dropdown list at runtime and populated with data. I also have added an eventhandler to determine the selected value of the drop down list.

"add controls at runtime" how to add code to the controls. kinda useless with no code, ehh? all results only told me how to add the control, that's it. well, this result is different. i will teach you firstly how to add controls at runtime, then how to apply code to them at runtime
Firstly, add the controls:
[CODE]..............
Now run it. do you have a button on the form? if yes, excellent. if not, you made a mistake. try again now how to add code? you may have noticed that when you double click on any control, it says private sub button1_click(blah, blah, blah) Handles button1.click where it says handles button1.click is what determines when the code executes under what event for what control (in this case the click event for the button1). this won't work when adding code at runtime. did you notice in the above example i added a with event, and addHandler? this is what creates the handler (same as Handles button1.click)
Now we add the code for the runtime control
[CODE].........
Above, the addressOf button1_click tells the program to execute the sub button1_click when the button is clicked on (as determined by .click) but i know what you're thinking! your thinking "why would we even BOTHER doing this at runtime? isn't it easier to do it at design-time in the first place?" yes it is, providing your not writing a plugin. plugins are code based, not GUI (also reffered to as WYSIWYG). to update existing forms using plugins, you need to use this method.

I did something that when I now load my program(VB 2008), my controls; combo boxes, buttons, progress bar, etc. look like they are from VB 2005 or like VBA buttons, not the rounded edge buttons of 2008.
They look like vb 2008 controls while I am in design view, but then they change their style when I run the program..

I was wondering if there was a way to dispose a control that i generated at runtime in a diffrent block of code, The reason why i can't dispose of the control in the same block of code is that the controls settings depend on what the user imputs.

For example loading 2 text boxs and 2 labels.

View 1 RepliesThis question is about VB.NET. I'm quite a novice on this one, so please forgive me if you feel that this question is nothing short of crazy or whatever. Anyway, I've been a creating a simple Windows addressbook Form application. We all know for a fact that a single person can have one or more addresses, of which a one-to-many relationship holds true. So there, my application also has to be able to edit each of these addresses (by the way, my application uses an Access Database, which really sucks but it's part of my task), and I already thought of using a control array (just like in PHP but it obviously never worked in .NET) for me to edit them. How am I supposed to implement this?
