Tooltips On Dynamic Controls?
Mar 16, 2011
I have an Application that has a tab control on it. Depending what the end user clicks on, a new tab is created dynamically at runtime and I use a Template class to fill it with controls of what is needed for the type of tab being created. All works fine but where I have an issue is with the dynamic tooltip control. I added a tooltip to the main form and added code to access it in the Template Class. But I feel I have to rig it to get it to work and am looking for a more proper way to do it. I access the Tooltip1 on Form1 via Form1.components. However, "Components" in the Form1 designer code is declared Private and I change it to Public and it works fine but of course as I know when I make changes to the Design of Form1 it recreates the code and Chages the Componets back to Private. So I need a better way to access it or a better way to create Tooltips dynamically.
Code:
'---CreateTab Class--- a portion of code for example
CreateTab(ByRef tpNew As TabPage)
Dim btnSelect = New System.Windows.Forms.Button
[Code].....

error: NullReferenceException was unhandled....Object variable or With block variable not set.

I 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

I have a VB.Net WinForm Program. I dynamically create panels with controls.Each panel has:
2 Labels
1 DataGridView
1 Button
Everything works fine the first time I create the panels.
Everything gets created, and everything is functional.
If I have to re-create the form, I get rid of the existing panels (and their controls) with this code:
[Code]...
When I re-create the panels, I get the panels and all of their controls except Buttons.When I step through the debugger, I see the buttons being removed, and I see them being created, but they don't appear in the panel

How would you add Dynamic controls to your form, from an array which size may vary depending on how many controls the user has selected and has been retrieved from a database?

I am programmatically adding some custom user controls to a PlaceHolder which I have on a simple aspx page. All of the user controls Postback's work correctly except for one which has a Gridview on it.
For some reason any postback that gets fired from within this control, does not call the specified event on the first click, however all future clicks it will work fine. I have no idea why this is the case, but many solutions I have found, suggest adding an ID to the ascx User Control, however this doesn't work in my case.
I've taken a look at the source file for the page that gets generated before and after the first click, javascript used for calling the postback changes, i.e
Before first click: onclick="javascript:__doPostBack('tmpControlID$sgvPrimaryEmploymentHistory','Select$0')"
After first click:
[Code]....
Again, nothing overly complicated. The USERCONTROLNAME is just a const with the value "tmpControlID" in it.
The control that is giving me trouble is a little complicated, I was originally using a custom GridView control that we have created, but have removed it and replaced it with the standard asp one to see if the problem still occurs, and it does.
Any button, on control which fires off a postback will fail the first time, and all future click will work correctly. On the first click the Page_Load event will get called, but that is it.

Previous in my app, I've created dynamic controls and and named them blah0, blah1, blah2 etc. There will be a different amount created each time the user runs the app.I'm now trying to delete all of the controls but doing something very wrong. I've got the following
dim checkboxes = Controls.OfType(Of CheckBox).AsQueryable()
dim sPrefix as string = "blah"
for each checknum as checkbox in checkboxes
[code]....
When I execute the above, it only gets rid of every second control and I have no idea why. If I swap the dispose with a msgbox, the msgbox appears every time as I'd expect. It would seem that disposing of a checkbox seems to somehow requery the number available?

I am creating a page with an area name and an input box next to it, code below:
Dim SQLConnection As New Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("sqlstr"))
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand
Dim LoadAreaReader As SqlDataReader
cmd.CommandText = "ListAreas"
[code]....
This works great, the problem I am having now it retreiving the details once Button1 is clicked. I got as far as this:
Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
For Each key As String In Request.Form.AllKeys
If key.Contains("txtPrompt-") Then
[code]....
But just need to display the id of the input box that has a value of more than 0. Am I close at all?

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.

First problem: Clicking the addsplit image adds another row with the same data but an increased value to the end but when the 6th row is added (displays the scrollbar), only the bottom 5 addsplit image works (when scrolled to the bottom) instead of all of them working. How can I ensure that when the image is clicked, the scrollbar automatically scrolls to the bottom and also how to make all addsplit image work instead of the bottom 5 only?[code]....

I'm having trouble getting controls in non active tabs to update. I have a tab control with 12 tabs. Each tab displays a custom calendar of days for each month. For each of the days I used label controls. Now the trouble im having is when I re-size the window I want the day labels in each tab to re-size accordingly. I have the re-size function written and working but for some reason it will only re-size the active tab. In order for me to have the labels on the other tabs update to the re-size I need to open each tab as to load it then it will update the controls.I've tried putting Application.DoEvents() in my re-size loop but that didn't work. How can I get the other tabs to update / redraw the controls without having to open the tabs first?

I am developing a form where I want the user to enter a complete recipe. In any recipe, I have no way to know how many different ingredients or how many steps will be involved. So if I am using a row consisting of a textbox, a combobox, and a textbox to represent 1 ingredient. how do I generate a dynamic number of these controls at run time? I have the same problem when I store the steps in creating the recipe. I need to create a dynamic number of textboxes to record each step.

I'm working on a kind of database program. What it does is, after an user fills in a couple of textboxes and hits an "Add" button, it creates a series of textboxes, and places these in the same form. After that, and here's where I have the problem, I want to be able to save the form, saving not only what each dynamically added textbox says, but also it's location in the form.
Here's part of my work up to now:
Code:
Public Class Form3
Dim k As Integer = 1
Dim i As Integer = 0
Dim j As Integer = 0
Dim x As Integer = 8
Dim y As Integer = 40
[Code] .....
NOTE: Age, name, last name, tel and type are all the fields that the user has to fill in, they are textboxes.

I need to create some serial port controlls manually. My program reads through a config file, and it if comes across an entry called COMPORT then I need to create a contol to talk to this port. The entries in the ini file might be
COMPORT=COM1
COMPORT=COM3
COMPORT=COM7
So here is my problem! I'd like to create the variable control name with part of the com port number, so I can always refer back to it.
EG.
Dim strVar as sring = "COM1"
Dim CName+strVar As New System.IO.Ports.SerialPort
