I'm just starting out using vb.net and i am writing my first application. I have added some comboboxes at runtime to my form using the code below.[code]Now my question is now that i have these controls added to the form, how can i iterate through them all and collect the values for sql injection. I have given each combobox a specific name when it was created such as Ball1, Ball2, Ball3.[code]
View 4 RepliesHow do you refer to controls that are added at runtime e.g. I can add a combobox and a handler, but trying to reference the controls name in code gives an 'not defined', error so in my example, the control is visible, but I cant populate the combo box or use it in anyway.
View 2 RepliesI am creating a program which allows the user to add some buttons during runtime. Each button can be moved, sized and added to any tab on a tabcontrol. What I would really like to do is binary serialize a class that contains the properties of each button including which tab it's on.
View 4 RepliesI want to ask a question about adding controls in design time (controls may be any win form control or a user control) and adding the control in run time.
View 2 Replies1. What determines that some controls cannot be added to the form? (I tried several, not all of them)
2. Where does the image for Column 1 About form come from?
I have created a datagrid of my own in vb dotnet and converted to dll. I add this dll to a project.i have 2 forms and i have added this control on 2 forms.

i want to when in run time i resize the form manually all the controls in the form to resize automatically so how can i do that?

I am building a program which will add items to a menu and launch the appropriate application by clicking the menu item I have added. I have linked to a data file and retrieved the ApplicationID, ApplicationName and ApplicationLink, the later being the location of the EXE file on the selected computer.I believe I can create an EventHandler on the fly to hold the link for each application[code].....
The above will add the Name to the menu, but I can't seem to SHELL the ApplicationLink.
How do I add an event Handler to a control, for example a textbox, to handle any keypress event?cause I want this textbox(which is added in program runtime) to only accept any convert any small letter to Upper case.
View 2 Replies[URL]its a free hoster, so you have to wait 10 seconds.First here's the steps to replicate, then I'll explain what the problem is:
(1) Create a System.Windows.Forms.UserControl and add a button to the bottom-right hand corner. Leave the button anchor as default (top-left). Add some more buttons dotted around so that you can see that they scale correctly.
(2) Add the UserControl to a form in the construtor, after the InitializeComponent call.
(3) Run the form.
(4) Increase the form font size some way (eg click a form button).
All the controls within the usercontrol scale perfectly but the usercontrol itself doesn't. It's width and height are increased by way too much. Look at the margin now between the button at the bottom-right hand corner and the usercontrol.To correct the problem, the usercontrol must be added before the InitializeComponent call.If it wasn't possible for me to add the usercontrol before InitializeComponent, is there any way for me to correct the scaling?
i a paint program where the user adds the required textbox at runtime... i have used the following code to add this
Static n As Integer
n += 1

where pboxf is the picturebox on which painting is being done... now i want that the text color should change if the user selects a part of the text and selects a diff color.... how can i do it???
I've added some Labels to a form at runtime using this
vb.net
Dim x As Integer = 25
For i As Integer = 1 To word.Length
[Code]....
Now, I would like to add text to one of them, but I'm not sure how. I thought by setting .Name I would simply be able to write something like lbl4.text ="A". But, of course, because the Label has not been created yet, this is not possible.
Also, I'm not even sure if .Name is working the way I think it is. I was hoping that it would name each Label consecutively: lbl1, lbl2, lbl3, lbl4...etc.
Am I naming the Labels properly? And how would I add text to one of these Labels?
I have a form, with lables and textboxes added at runtime. The labels and textboxes are added properly on form load and display as expected. The form allows tabing into each of the textboxes, but the textbox does not allow user input.
Is this a problem with the way I show the form to the user? >> this particular form is called (frmname.show) from a different form -- If I test this form directly, without being called from a different form, it allows user input in the textboxes. Is it because of the properties I used to create the textbox? >> properties used were - .name, .size, .location, .tag
I understand the page lifecycle and how i need to add the dynamic controls on page_init if I want to take advantage of viewstate. Also I know that I should try to avoid dynamic controls when possible. The dynamic controls are created depending on an object that is created from custom event arguments sent from a custom treeview. Problem is I need viewstate so I need to create them in page_init but I don't have the event args to create the object that tell me what controls to add until later in the lifecycle.
Private Function GetEventArgs() As npTreeViewEventArgs
Dim control As Control = Nothing
Dim e As npTreeViewEventArgs = Nothing
[code]....
I use this in page_init to create my object and controls.
I have a custom control which I add a number of to a flowlayoutpanel:
Dim drive As New WindowsControlLibrary1.UserControl1()
drive.FileSystemlable = reader.GetString(2)
drive.AbalableSpaceLable = Convert.ToInt32(reader.GetString(4) / 1024)
drive.TotalSpaceLable = Convert.ToInt32(reader.GetString(5) / 1024)
drive.SetVolumeLable = reader.GetString(3)
[Code]...
I created a control so that I can add label, txtbox and checkbox during runtime. I was able to do this successfully but after this, I need to get the state of this checkboxes every time the user check it, RUNTIME.[code]...

I have a number of user control dynamically added to a page, and user interaction with these dynamically added user controls need to be handled by the control's parent. Is this what is referred to as "event bubbling"?How do I do that in VB?

View 1 RepliesI am currently wokring on a project, which is going to serve as an interface for accessing various documentation and reports. It is basically just a tabcontrol with a few pages that will be poppulated with buttons which will open the appropriate document.I am trying to allow administrative users the ability to add new, edit or remove buttons which all seems relatiively simple, but have run into the problem of how to persist the changes once they are made.

I've dynamically added 20 pictureboxes to a panel and would like to see the panel scroll when I use the mouse wheel. To implement this I have tried to set the autoscroll to true on the panel control. Here is the code.
For i As Integer = 1 To 20:
Dim b As New PictureBox()
b.Image = Nothing
[Code]....
It works for "button" control, but not for the "picturebox" or "label" controls?
How can I implementthe scrolling affect using 'mousewheel'?
I am trying to make a small control that has a picturebox and a few labels that can be dragged on the form it is placed on. The control was easy, and I can drag it fine when the mouse is down on the control, where there are no other controls, like not over the picturebox or labels.
When i try to click and drag the user-control and the mouse is on the picture box or labels of the control the mouse down event is not detected. I am hoping someone can tell me how to pass the mouse-down event from the controls on the user-control so the form I place it on detects the mouse down even no matter where on the control i click.
I am building a program that does inventory control. I have multiple forms connected to same database. One of the forms I have a search function. When I was using the controls at the top of the page, it was working. I added buttons for the controls and now the database wont store anything. I can open the input form and I can add multiple inputs, close the form, open it back up, and nothing left in the database. I have also noticed that my database icon in the data source has a small red X in it. When I click on the icon, it is showing the db as closed. I can refresh it and it opens, until I run the program and it closes.
View 4 RepliesI have a query about dynamically added controls to a form. I have a series of buttons which are created and added at run time. I have a two drop down lists and two buttons which are created at design time. Button 1 creates a series of buttons called "Test 1.x" based upon the selection of the two drop down lists. This works fine and am happy with the logic.However.... Button two should remove all the dynamically created buttons from the form.This does not happen. What does happen is that 50% of the buttons are removed starting with the first one. WHen checking the loop it only enters the loop half the amount of times that there are buttons. Very strange. When the loop is run repeatability it will remove all controls. Why will my logic not remove all the dynamically created controls at once? What is wrong with my logic?
I attach two code snippets and the .net file for your consideration.Button method which creates the dynamically created buttons from the two drop down lists and adds to form
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim Count As Integer
Dim MaxHours As Integer
