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?
What's wrong with the following code? I'm trying to remove some radio buttons that were created dynamically but the controls' names are not being picked up by this code (only the name of the type of control).

is there a tutorial (i looked, couldn't find) on adding controls at runtime?

In 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?

The goal of this code is to add a control to a panel in runtime. This MUST be done in runtime for the purpose I intend. The problem is that, when I add a second control, the first one disappears.

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 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'm just starting out using vb.net and i am writing my first application.

View 3 RepliesIn 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.

I'm having problems removing dynamic controls.
Here is what I'm using:
CODE:
The first sub is for adding the (custom)control, the second sub is for removing the control.
The custom control is a picturebox with a checkbox in the upper-left hand corner, no big deal.
The problem is that when I click the delete command, it only deletes one ckPicture at a time, and allways the last one in the list. I'm also assuming it's doing the same thing in the list(of images). What should I do differently so that it will remove all controls that are checked?
I forgot to add the variables in my namespace.
CODE:
This is my first post here as I am in the process of writing my first vb program. I just recently learned VBA and prior to that I had no programming experience. I decided that my first attempt with VB would be to convert a program that I previously wrote in VBA. It runs in an excel workbook but it doesn't actually use any excel functions so I figured it would be acceptable to convert. I am having an issue with removing controls on a userform. A commandbutton adds a line of about 6 controls. The user can add as many lines as they need to input their data. One of the 6 controls is a delete button that deletes the line of controls next to it. I have created a collection named Cashflows that holds each line of controls and each line of controls is named with a number that indexes the name to the line that it appears on in the form. In VBA I use that number to delete the actual controls from the userform and reposition and rename the remaining lines of controls.
Private Sub Delete_Click()
Commandbutton3sub(CInt(Right(Delete.Name, Len(Delete.Name) - 6)))
End Sub
I'm using this code to remove controls from a panel.vb.net For Each c As Control In Me.pnlDevices.Controls Me.pnlDevices.Controls.Remove(c)Next
but somehow it doesn't remove all the controls at once, I have to run the code 3 times to remove them all(there is about 20 to 30 of them, mainly labels I don't know if it matters, but the controls where added dynamically at startup...
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

Everything works Accept the remove selection ... I think it has something to do with Dim LB As New Label() ... And ... Me.Controls.Remove(LB)
I'm making quite the complex program, and while I try to figure out some more advanced methods that work better for what I'm trying to do, I'd like to learn how to do this (which is a bit of a roundabout method to what I've been trying). I'm wondering, how can I programatically create and remove objects? For example, I have webbrowser1. I want to remove it and create another webbrowser that I will also name webbrowser1. (therefore, the instance of the original must be removed)
View 5 RepliesI have a problem with a bit of code that is supposed to delete every controls on a form appart from the 2 first controls
vb2010
Private Sub ClearCheck(ByRef Container As Control)
Dim ctl As Control
Dim Boxtype As Control
Dim i As UShort = 0
[Code]...
The behavior is strange, I can't find any logic to it, it will sometime delete a part of the objects, other times it will delete other part of the objects. If I run it more than once, I can achieve the wanted result and remove all controls except the 2 I want to keep. It's as if it was checking 1 out of 2 controls.
To give you a better idea I have a combobox on the form and depending on choice it adds appropriate controls (not show/visible true) and add a second combobox to refine the search. If I change the value in the first combobox I want to remove the added controls from the previous combobox.SelectedIndexChanged as well as any control created by the following combobox from the form.
If need be I'll post the code that creates those new controls, but it's quite long so I didn't include it in this post
