Now instead of 3 separately named boxes, I wanted to make an array of combo box, now I thought if I created 1, then copy pasted it would make them an array as the same name but it just lists the new one with a default name.

I cannot work out the correct formatting of the above type addressing for a textbox in a (sort of) array of textboxes such as
textbox_1
textbox_2
textbox_3
etc.
The controls are on Tabs but I don't think I need to include the Tab as a container control, just refer directly to the textbox on the form, but I cannot work out how this is done in VB .NET format. In VB6 it was relatively straightforward but VB .NEt seems it is different. Can anyone help me with the correct way to formulate

is it possible to create array of controls in UI. i need to create array of buttons (as similar to VB6)is there any way to do this?
View 13 RepliesThis was an experiment to see if I could create a fake array using generics instead of using an array. I decided to try it, because I may use it if I find any advantages to using it over an array. it works, I am just asking for a second or third opinion, have I screwed anything up, or is there an easier way to accomplish this? If I use it, it will be for a 2D game I am creating, and is used to draw the 2D screen graphics, placing an image based on what image identifier is located at what coordinates. The value stored in the fake array is an integer that disignates the graphic to draw and whether it is passible or not, i.e. 0 = a floor image, 501 = a wall image that is impassible (any image number > 500 is impassable) The Class definition:

I need to be able to refer to a set of controls on a Windows form using an array, but I'm having a few difficulties.
The Windows form (WForm.vb) contains two textboxes (TextBox1 and TextBox2).
In Module1.vb I have created an array reference to the textboxes thus:
Public wf As New WForm
Public ReadOnly TB() As Control = {wf.TextBox1, wf.TextBox2}
Then, in WForm.vb I have tried to refer to the textboxes via the array:
eg.
TB(0).Text = "Change text to this"
I know that the array is referring to the textboxes, because when I hover the cursor over the line 'TB(0).Text = "Change text to this" ' in debug mode, I get the following:
(0)|{Text = "Change text to this"}
(1)|{Text = ""}
but for some reason, the text in TextBox1 on the form isn't actually being changed!
(There is obviously no problem with change the textbox's text at this point in the code, because I've tried substituting the array reference 'TB(0)' with a direct reference to the textbox 'TextBox1', and the problem disappears.
I've been making a table control for a few days, and I've got to the point of making it capable of accepting new data. To do this, I'm making it generate a row of text boxes, combo boxes, and date selection windows along the row that you're entering data into.
I've tried using an array of 'control' types and changing them to whatever specific control I need as I generate it. That sort of works. For example, the code under 'Case "Employees"' below will make a combo box display on the form, but 'ControlArray(i).Items.Add' gives an error because it doesn't think that ControlArray(i) is actually a combobox yet.
You might also be interested to know that everything will have to be dynamically generated since the table I'm using will not always be the same (and the Select Case code will eventually be replaced by something that checks for relationships in the database).
Dim ControlArray(NumberOfColumns - 1) As Control
For i As Integer = 0 To NumberOfColumns - 1
ControlArray(i) = New TextBox
[Code].....
I am trying to make a form that is blank and will add in 2 comboboxes, a textbox, 2 buttons and a checkbox next to each other in a row. I want the controls to be part of an array, so that all controls on a row are associated with that array number.I am currently able to make the first row appear when the form is loaded, however when i click one of the buttons(which are used to create thenext row of controls) it comes up with an error stating that the index was outside the array bounds.
Here is the code I currently have:
Public Class frmWhere
Public SQLString3 As String
Public locationy As Integer
[code]....
I am not sure, but I have understood that, if I want an array of controls with only a method that handles a particular event, I have to define a custom control and add the handler. Is it possible that it does not work with an array of normal controls?

View 11 RepliesHandling Events For An Array Of Controls
View 3 RepliesI'm writing an application in VB.NET and face the following issue. I'm trying to create an interface that will allow the user to select their availability given a range of times and the days of the week. I want to create checkbox controls in a tabular form with two indices that I can use to refer to a certain time range and a day of the week.[code]I followed the article found here which creates and exposes a control array,however it is not multi-dimensional. Does anyone know of a similar way to dynamically generate controls and store them in a multi-dimensional array in VB.NET?
View 2 RepliesIf you have a Component (or Control) with a public property of type Control, then in the Properties Window you automatically get a drop down of all the controls on the same form as the component, which is very handy. If you want to do the same thing but with an array of controls then the Properties Window shows the ellipsis and you get the Collection Editor with the Add / Remove buttons creating and deleting an instance of Control (i.e. the base class used for deriving all the others) - not quite so handy.
How do I get a list of the controls on a form and be able to select more than one? I think I need to create a custom UITypeEditor? Assuming that's right then I think I need a dialog box (like the Font dialog) with Available and Selected ListBoxes with Add / Remove buttons and appropriate code to link the control array in the component to changes in the Selected list box? Along with an appropriate UITypeEditor derived class.
Assuming that's correct, how do you get a list of the controls on a form at design time? Can I do that form design as a Windows Form, just as normal, or is it all done by hand? I've seen some code that does it with a UserControl rather than a Form, presumably that's for when you want a 'pop-up' control (like the one for Color selection)?
I am new to VB 2008 express (I am a 'C' coder but have played with VB6 before). I am writing a simple program that will use the serial port. What I would like to do is, upon some trigger event, open a form, and depending on the amount of serial ports available, populate this form with an array of checkboxes with each check box corresponding to an available serial port. The user could then choose a port which would then determine the PortName.
View 1 RepliesI am creating an array of customer controls by doing the following:
Dim CtlLosArray(150) As Control
Then I'm setting up the first control in the array like this:
CtlLosArray(1) = New ShieldLOSInfobox
CtlLosArray(1).Location = New Point(0, 0)
CtlLosArray(1).Visible = True
CtlLosArray(1).Show()
CtlLosArray(1).Name = "Label1"
Me.pnlLOS.Controls.Add(CtlLosArray(1))
Now on this custom control I have a panel and a few text boxes and as you can see I may be adding about 150 of these custom controls. What I am wanting to do is to be able to access that control then the item on that control based on the array. Something like the following:
CtlLosArray(1).Controls.Item(Panel1).backcolor = Color.Yellow
But the above does not work. How I can access a specific item on the customer control within the array?

My program is to have auto-generated radio button, when i declare no. in numeric up down that will be the no. of set of the radio button. the program is an exam generated for true or false if you will think of it to have an radio button options for true or false. if i will click the generate button then the radio buttons will appear.
View 2 RepliesI'm working on an menu program right now which has 20 panels used to display bmps that can be clicked on to select things. These panels are simply named something like pnl01, pnl02, etc. to pnl20. I'd like to make them into an array, like pnl(0) through pnl(19), so i can change the bmp on different panels like this:
x = 7
pnl(x).backgroundimage = image.fromfile(file)
i thought this had something to do with enumerated controls but after some searching i couldn't figure out if i was looking for the right thing.

What would be the best approach to create the following: A groupbox that contains several labels a groupbox with an array of 8 labels in it
Then the main form would have 4 of these groupboxs (object?) and I would need the ability to change the color and text of all the various labels within any of the groupboxes, using an index similar to what we could do with control arrays in VB6.
I would think an object would make the most sense but can you have control elements in an object and display them on the form?
I want to create controls in runtime and attach them to an already connected database..
the controls must vary e.g.Array of Strings can be used.

I would like to expand my knowledge of VB.NET and was looking at creating custom user interfaces or custom controls. The type of things I am thinking of is: [URL]s. How are those controls created? I imagine it involves using the existing controls in Visual Studio as a starting point, and altering them to suit your design?
