I am very new to vb .net. I want to create a set of arrays of textboxes during runtime of a program. For example when I click on a CommandButton it will ask me how many textboxes do I require as input. Then it will create that no. of textboxes instantly. This thing I have done in Visual Basic 6.0 but I can't do it here in .Net
View 3 RepliesI have a form where I have to use control arrays to create a multiple input form i.e. rather than processing one transaction at a time up to 16 transactions must be processed. The following really havent given me much problems at this moment labels and textboxes. I use a for construct to create all the controls including a combobox. This is where my question comes in this form combobox has to be linked to a table in a database. But furthermore and this is where it gets complicated for me anyway each seperate combobox must move independly if i select row 5 in the table in combobox 4 combobox 5 which is havent touched should still be on row 1. How do I accomplish this. I'm using a webservice. I have tried passing a loaded dataset . The code that loaded the dataset is as follows
Dim DSInfo As New Project1.localhost4.AccInfo
DSInfo.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
InformationData.Merge(DSInfo.GetBusinessJournals)
[Code].....
this code doesnt however provide a link to the table equallly creating a dataset in the combobox method ,loading it and then setting it as datasource also provides no link. I know i'm missing something.
How can I re-declare arrays in VB.NET at runtime?Example:When I run my program, I will have 100 arrays then I have my button that says "add", if I click it, a text box will appear and I can type there what ever I want to add in my arrays, also I can delete an existing array, but the problem is for example I want to delete an item, and that item is in array number 6, if I delete it, a new item will replace the array, how will I do it?
View 1 RepliesIn languages like C++ and Java, it is possible to declare an array of an arbitrary size and then give it a specific size later in the code.

I've got an issue with control arrays from VB6 and converting that code to VB.net. It was suggested to me that the forum has a lot of info on what became of control arrays and each one I've found so far seems to indicate that VB.net has devolved in thatrespect.The solutions I've seen all involve writing segments of code to replace the simple functionality of a group name for a control and a simple index property. Perhaps I've not found the right thread, but it seems that VB.net is woefully lacking in control arrays. In VB6, all I had to do was C&P a control and click, 'Yes,' to create a control array when prompted by VB. The Index was automatically created and incremented for each successivecopy of the control. It was simplicity itself to merely reference the Index for a control group.
View 15 RepliesIn VB6 there is a feature called Control Arrays, where you name controls the same name and provide them an index value. This allows you to set a value by looping through the controls and setting each value. In VB .NET I can't create a control array?
View 6 Repliesas always I'm here asking you a probably stupid question, but I'm upgrading an old vb 6 project, so I'd like to have all the new code more object oriented and as compact as possible.I have a groupbox containing some textboxes. Each of them is filled with the "selecteditem.tostring" property of a listbox everytime I press a button (call it "OK BUTTON"), and everything works fine.
Code below:
For Each ctrl As Control In GroupBox1.Controls

I have the read the article "Creating Control Arrays in Visual Basic .NET" (link: [URL]) and I its very good and useful code for 1D array of objects. What if someone wants to make a 2D array of control objects. For example creating a "table" of 8x8 buttons that will be able to change properties by using the arrays x-y coordinates. Something like button(x,y). backcolor.black or similar.
View 3 RepliesHow I can make control arrays like vb6? I need for example,
button(1).backcolor=...
button(2). backcolor=... etc.
And I wanna work with it's indexes.
Allowing adding/removing new controls at both design and run time, with event handling?
View 6 RepliesI have a control array of custom picture boxes on my form, say PibBox1, PicBox2 etc. Now, I want to access the individual click events of this control arrays. For eg: If we have three PicBox1, PicBox2, PicBox3 on the form, I want to move into the click event of each of these and assign a value to a variable PicSeletced =1, PicSeletced =2, PicSeletced =3 accordingly as the PicBox1, PicBox2, PicBox3 are clicked. But I don't know how to move into the individual click events of the control array.
View 13 RepliesI have created control arrays in run time with following [code]...
But I don't know how I can have access to events now (especially textchanged)
For example I want when I write number in txtfrom (i+1) write it automatically in txtTo(i)
I have an application that has a grid of rich text boxes on a panel. I would like to access and modify the text in the various rich text boxes during run time. I know this has been brought up a bazillon times over the years, but I would have done this as a series of control arrays in VB 6. Below is a simplified representation of how the textboxes would appear in a panel if control arrays were availble:
rtbA(1) rtbB(1) rtbC(1)
rtbA(2) rtbB(2) rtbC(2)
rtbA(3) rtbB(3) rtbC(3)
I find that I can access the properties of the rich text boxes via panel1.controls.item(x).text, for example, where x is the control index assigned by the panel when I dropped the controls on it.
Since I created the rich text boxes at design time and dropped them on the panel, it has arbitrarily assigned the index values, and they are not in the index order that I would desire.
How does one re-assign a control's index at design time for a controls collection on a panel? And if one has 24 text boxes on one panel, is there a way to break them into subgroups, such as rtbA(), rtbB(), rtbC() with their own index values?
I am trying to port a program I wrote with old VB 1 and I have many control arrays in the program, and it was so easy to do this in older versions of VB, now I am trying to find how to do this and all the answers I have found are a major productions, to replace something that was so easy to do? I would think that microsoft would make programming easer with each new incarnation. instead they are making it harder. doing away with the DATA and READ statement, now it is much harder to fill an array with a loop, now you have to enter each item in an array ONE by ONE. they did away with the ON statement, I had several ON statements, I had to make complex Select case constructs. to replace a simple one word statement?
To make an array of controls in OldVB all you had to do is Name a Second control the Same as the First, and a dialog pops up and ask if you want to make an array, you click Yes, and that's it, what could be easier than this?
Using MSDN documentation on creating Control Arrays in VB.net I proceeded to create a control array based on my UserControl. I modified the code programmatically to Loop through a For-Next loop to create 6 objects using the same UserControl. After creating these objects, I proceed to perform graphics on each control to draw a rectangle of which is in the center of the control by using a Timer_Tick event.
View 1 RepliesI am having trouble with .net again. I have a series of 10 text boxes. I want to be able to populate them from an array and read there values into another array. In vb6 I would create a text box array with 10 text boxes / indices. I could then populate them by txtbox(i).text = arrVal(i) and to reference them arrVal(i) = txtbox(i). I am stumped I can create 10 text boxes on a form if I have to, but I want them somehow tied to each other as they were in vb6.

I have a VB.NET application and use some third party (closed source) ActiveX controls. One of the controls represents a "camera" (connected over several interfaces) and I try to write an example how to work with several cameras in one application. To do this I allocate multiple "camera" objects dynamically as an array which works as expected like this:
Const NUM_CAMERAS = 2
Private MyCameras(NUM_CAMERAS ) As xxx.MCamera
But the camera objects needs to be allocated with WithEvents because they raise events when a new image was taken. I found out that WithEvents variables cannot be typed as arrays and this is a pretty common problem so I also found some workarounds: [URL]. This is already pretty good and I adopted this to my concept. So I have a MyCameras array and a MyCamera all "without Events", first allocate a new MyCamera object, add a event handler and then put it into the array.
Unfortunately I get an error when calling
AddHandler Camera.ProcessModifiedImage, AddressOf MyHook
Normally "MyHook" is declared as
Private Sub MyHook (ByVal sender As Object, ByVal ModifiedBuffer As xxx.ProcessModifiedImageEvent) Handles Camera.ProcessModifiedImage
Like in the "Button examples" I just removed the "Handles Camera.ProcessModifiedImage" but I get an error that "MyHook" has not the same signature as the Delegate
Delegate Sub ICameraEvents_ProcessModifiedImageEventHandler(ImageIndex as Integer)
I am trying to do an application where several textboxes and buttons will be added to a groupbox.
for example..
code:
I might have anywhere between 1 and 20 rows of these textboxes and buttons. I can add buttons on from.. but how would i add the textboxes or buttons to the say Procedure for MyButton_Click... Handles MyButton_1.click, MyButton_2.click
how to do something similar to what was a control array in VB6 in .NET? I would like to be able to fill the contents of several text boxes using a FOR NEXT loop or something similar..... corresponding the contents of an array with the texts of an equal number of text boxes.

How can to make control arrays in vb.net ? there is no INDEX property or Load method like VB6. so how i can do it ?
View 5 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?

In VB6 I load a recordset containg all of the records (6 fields per record)in a table into an XArray and then manipulate the records in the array and then write them back to the original table. The array issorted by the first field (1 to maybe 8000 or more) I need to find records in the array by an ID field and then move them (because of some external criteria that happens many times) from say number 400 to number 375. Then all of the other records between 375 and 399 were renumbered up 1 to fill the gaps left by the move.
The XArray worked well as it could find and also move to a next record easily to facilitate the revisions to each record quickly. Everything is done in VB6 in code and nothing visual needs to be shown to the user until say 2000 of these external changes are complete. What is the best, most efficient way to do this in the .Net framework in VB2010. Datasets, Dataviews. tableadapters, arrays. enums ?
My assignment is to have a user enter in big integers using what i think is two parallel arrays. I got this far but now im stuck. I think i need to actually convert the text box input into an array but i do not know how to do that. I am all over the place in this project.

I have a VB.net console app and I am opening a function in a dll written in fortran. I am passing 3 arrays through the function by reference. When they come back out the otherside they ahve all tunred to arrays of only one element And that element is 0.I read on the internet somewhere that when doing this kind of thing it is a good idea to only pass the first element of the array into the function.I tried changing my function declaration to accepting single elements rather than single dimensional arrays, and now the arrays are the same length before and after the function call, but they don't seem to be changing at all, so i'm not sure that this is working
View 1 Replieshow to add controls in panel control runtime. I mean, I want to add group box at runtime. When I click on my button, it should add a group box in my panel and when I click again, it should move the first group box down and add the second. Every group box should have a label control in it.
View 1 RepliesI have a basic IDE for a user control i am building. It allows me to add labels to a panel and move them around, like a very basic form designer. When I add the controls to the panel at runtime, I'd like to give the control a unique name string like how the VS IDE tracks the controls it already has and adds an extra number when it creates the default control name. I have tried checking the controls collection each time a new control is added, but wasnt sure if there was a good string comparison method to return a name with a unique number on the end that hasn't been used yet.
