Adding And Deleting Controls Via Code?
Aug 14, 2011
I am trying to create and remove a series of controls programatically. The user will have a numeric updown to pick a number. The program will then create a bunch of duplicate controls based on whatever number they pick on the fly.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub NumericUpDown1_ValueChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles numberDebts.ValueChanged[code].....
The creation part works just fine.As the number is toggled upward a new label is created.However whenever I remove labels it acts very strangely.The first time I bring it down it works just fine. Then the next 3 do nothing but the 4th removes another line.I can also toggle back and forth and it will eventually remove the label. So for example.
Starts with 1 selected - 1 label visible (1)
Change to 2 - 2 labels visible (1-2)
Change to 3 - 3 labels visible (1-3)[code]....
If I toggle back and forth between 2 and 3 eventually label 4 will go away.I want only 1- my numeric up down value to be displayed and have everything else after that removed.

I am trying (Push)add data into my stack (length of five) and (Pop)delete from the end of my stack.
I need to know how can:
- Add the elements to the stack with keeping track of adding and deleting from it (adding an element will increment until 5 and deleting would decrement until the stack is empty).
Private Sub Button1Push_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1Push.Click
Dim Stack(4) As String

What I am trying to do is create a form in code that runs while the BackGround worker is running.I created a form the normal way with a label and progress bar but I want to update the label with what is going on in the BackGround Worker.Doing it the standard way isn't updating the label on the form.So my next idea is to create a form in code which I have done, but now I can't remember how to add controls to that form at runtime.Here is the code I have so far.[code]So from here I have tried the CreateControl() and the Controls.Add() and neither one is working for me.

I have forms with multiple pictureboxes, labels, etc. They are all numbered, for example, pb_QL01 to pb_QL99, or lb_Main01 to lb_Main29. In the old days, I could reference the properties of these in code using, for example, Me.Controls(a).Image where 'a' was the string of the name of the object (e.g. "pb_QL23"). So, I get it that you can't do this anymore in QB2008 (too bad). I need to set the properties in loops. [Code]
but it takes a long time to cycle through all of my controls, and there are some properties that will not work (like mycontrol.image), image not an option. So, is there an easy way to get this done? I don't want to add the controls in code, since they already exist on the form. If I have to use collections (which I'd prefer not to if there is an analogous way to the old way of passing the name of the control in code with a string, but if I need to, how do I get this to work.

In the early generations of VB.NET visual studio, I used to see an automatically generated region named "Windows Form Designer generated code" that includes the code that generates the controls at the surface of a form. But what happened with VS 2008, I can't see that region any more ? Where are the lines of code that are automatically generated that create controls and set there properties ?????

I was transferring a lot of controls from one form to another and somehow along the way I ended up with a lot of "extra" controls and apparently when you do this they don't retain their Names so they are all default-type names (Label1, Textbox1, etc)I can see them all listed in the properties window dropdown box, but they are not on the form. Selecting them from the dropdown does not reveal where they are at on the form either.

I can't figure out how to refresh the combobox on my main form after I have added or deleted an item to the table that populates the combobox. I use a separate form to add, change and delete items in the combobox table. I have tried different suggestions that I have found on the subject on the web. Nothing seams to work... Here is what I have right now that does not work.

I have records in my datagridview (from database(ms sql server 2008 r2)). What i want to do is to insert the records selected by my datagridview checkboxcolumn and IF POSSIBLE automatically delete a record if the records to be inserted are equal to the records inside the database. (Hoping you got what I want to say.) For example. I have an A,B,C(child) that is under XXX(parent) in my database and I'll be inserting the A,B(child) again but it will be under YYY(parent). The old record in XXX will be deleted except C. I just want a possible DELETE STATEMENT These are what I've done so Far :
Insertion of record to database
Try
connectionString = "Data Source=***;"
sql_connection = New SqlConnection(connectionString)

With several forms of mine, I occasionally run into the following issue: I edit the form using the designer (Visual Studio 2008, Windows Forms, .NET 2.0, VB.NET) to add components, only to find out later that some minor adjustments were made (e.g. the form's size is suddenly changed by a few pixels), and controls get deleted. This happens silently — event-handling methods automatically have their Handles suffix removed, too, so they never get called, and there's no compiler error. I only notice much later or not at all, because I'm working on a different area in the form.
As an example, I have a form with a SplitContainer containing an Infragistics UltraListView to the left, and an UltraTabControl to the right. I added a new tab, and controls within, and they worked fine. I later on found out that the list view's scrollbar was suddenly invisible, due to its size being off, and at least one control was removed from a different tab that I hadn't been working on.
Is this a known issue with the WinForms Designer, or with Infragistics? I use version control, of course, so I can compare the changes and merge the deleted code back in, but it's a tedious process that shouldn't be necessary. Are there ways to avoid this? Is there a good reason for this to occur?
One clue is that the control that was removed may have code (such as a Load event handler) that expects to be run in run time, not design time, and may be throwing an exception. Could this cause Visual Studio to remove the control?

My project involves making a table database that displays student number, surname, first name, homeroom, and grade avg. Through SQL commands, there must be functions to add, update, delete, search by field, and save records to the database.I have already set the database up just fine and displayed it in a DataGridView. Through the DataGridView, I was able to go to the "Add Query" area, and I successfully made the queries necessary for searching by field. However, when I try to do anything other than a search using the query builder (ie start my SQL command with INSERT INTO or DELETE FROM), I ultimately get the message "Failed to get schema for this query"For example, this SQL code (to add an entry to the database) worked when I was in the Query Builder (and the entry that it made is still in the database), but when I finally tried to confirm it, I got the "Failed to get schema for this query" message.Being unable to add entries to the database this way, I tried to do it with textboxes on a form. Each textbox will have one of the fields, and at the click of a button, they would be put into the table. My code is below. I do not know what is wrong withit. When I run it, my fields do not appear on the DataGridView immediately, but I must run the program again to see it. The time after, the entry is gone. So I am not sure how exactly such entries are to be saved.

I don't think the problem lies within the codes but..The last thing I did was use datediff.. and show the result on a label.. and when I wasn't satisfied with the result I changed a few lines, and I noticed it was still the same whenever I run it.I've tried changing/deleting the codes to my forms but whenever I run the program, it still works. I even tried deleting the form and it still works.

I am using Visual Basic 2010 Express. I have a form with some text boxes on it. There was some code on that form which was giving errors. So I deleted the whole code. Now the problem is, I cannot see the form Design mode button to view it in design mode. But when I hit F5, I can see all the text boxes (in Run mode). I want to add some more controls on form. How to resolve this problem?

i have several forms in my solution that have listview controls and each of those listview controls uses the ListViewColumnSorter class that's provided on MSDN. This class requires a few lines of code in the Form_InitializeComponent Method of the Designer.Problem is, each time something on the form is changed, even if it's just a property of one of the controls, the designer deletes the code that I have for the listviews and I have to go back in and add it again.

I have a webpage with a form that is used to edit some object. This object contains a Collection of other objects defined like this: Public Overridable Property Employees As List(Of Employee)
On a form I can delete an employee, add a new one or modify existing one. When I click save new values are sent to the server. On a server I check if the user exists. If exists then I modify its values, if it does not exist then I add it. All employees that exist on the server and were not sent are marked as deleted (State changed to EntityState.Deleted). I try to use the following code (dbCollection = database entities, newCollection = collection sent from the form):
[Code]...
This code does not work, because changing to EntityState.Deleted removes the object from collection, and for each loop breaks, since the collection is modified...I know that I can overcome this problem by using a for loop or adding objects to delete to some other list first, but I hope maybe there is a pattern that would make my code nicer.

I have been working on a VB 2005 applications for the past week and now I'm not able to add a control to the form. It's a very basic app with only one form and I can add the control in design mode but it does not appear on the form in run mode and is on the verge of driving me nuts. Pretty new to programming by the way.

I am trying to add controls to a Panel in a loop, but for some reason they are being added from the bottom up instead of top down.In a little test program I am running this
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
For i As Integer = 1 To 10[code]....
And this is the result I get ... the controls are added starting at the bottom. I need them to start at the top of the panel, with each new control being added under the previous one. If I remove the Dock statement, then the controls just get added on top of each other.

I am converting a VBA program to VB. I need to create controls at runtime as I don't want the user to be limited to the amount of information that they can input. I am converting this statement in vba:
Dim CF As CashFlowControl
CF = New CashFlowControl
CF.Cashflow = Form1.Controls.Add("Forms.Textbox.1", "Cashflow" & Cashflows.Count + 1, True)
With CF.Cashflow
.Left = Form1.Label2.Left
.Width = Form1.Label2.Width
.Top = Form1.Label2.Top + Form1.Label2.Height + (Form1.Label2.Height * Cashflows.Count) + 5
.Visible = True
.Text = 0
.Text = Format(CF.Cashflow.Text, "$#,##0.00")
End With
I have tried:
Dim txtbox As New TextBox
CF.CashFlow = Form1.Controls.Add(txtbox)
With CF.CashFlow
.Name = "CashFlow" & Cashflows.Count + 1
.Left = Form1.Label2.Left
.Width = Form1.Label2.Width
.Top = Form1.Label2.Top + Form1.Label2.Height + (Form1.Label2.Height * Cashflows.Count) + 5
.Height = Form1.Label2.Height
.Visible = True
End With
I've also tried:
CF.CashFlow = Form1.Controls.Add("vbtextbox","Cashflow" & Cashflows.count + 1)
With CF.CashFlow
.Left = Form1.Label2.Left
.Width = Form1.Label2.Width
.Top = Form1.Label2.Top + Form1.Label2.Height + (Form1.Label2.Height * Cashflows.Count) + 5
.Height = Form1.Label2.Height
.Visible = True
End With
I still get the little wavy underline under the text after the "Form1.Controls.Add" statement and the error says "Value of Type 'string' cannot be converted to 'system.windows.forms.control." I also get the error "Too many arguments to 'Public Overridable Sub Add(value as systems.windows.forms.control)"
What am I missing here? This seems to be the way it is done in all of the examples that I have found on this site.
