I'm basically simulating bowling. I've created a form that has a "scoreboard" on it, and I'm updating the cells of the scoreboard to display the bowl result. Without doing 21 if statements, I figured I could call a method, send it which roll number it is, and then use a for loop to update each label's text values.[code]...
Is this possible? I have tried a few different methods with no luck. I am more of a JAVA person, but am taking some classes for VB, and have been playing around. This is what I have tried:

I think I'm going about this the wrong way, but would like to know if anyone has achieved this. All I'm doing is printing a simple character map to 255 labels, each label containing a char. Not an assignment, just having fun.
I'm trying to loop through Labels that are named Label1 through Label16 and output integers from Array into the Text property of the labels. I think everything works except I can't figure out how to assign MyLabel the value of the current Label # in the loop. [code]
View 3 RepliesI am writing an app to be a single button failover of a set of mirrored SQL servers. The app has to handle several other functions (enable/disable and start/stop of services, writing to local registry, copying files from server A to server B, initiating stored procedures, etc.)I have a collection of labels that indicate the status of 4 services on 2 servers, I wrote a function to check the services when passed the machine name, and the service name. Originally I just called the function 8 times (4 services, 2 machines) and populated the labels 'manually'. I have all of this within a timer so that the service status is refreshed every couple seconds. Id like to clean up the code to a single for/next loop that operates on 2 arrays (an array of service names, and an array of labels) such as:
'**Fetch_Status is the function that gets service status, it accepts 2 strings, machine name
'**and service name and returns status "running", "Stopped", as my_status
Dim Services() As String = {"Service1", "Service2", "Service3", etc.}

The only reason I want the control array is to be able to use the .Text and .BackColor properties of the labels in the loop. If I make an array of strings with the label names it doesnt seem to pick that up.
I created a program that has serval labels on a form and a listview object. It has a button that when clicked reads a textfile and loads up values in the listview object. I then can click and drag text from the listview box to any label on the form and then the program removes the value from the listview box. Now, my question is how can I instruct VB to save these values in the text property of the labels so that the next time the program is loaded the labels will contain the values loaded during the last run time session?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to have a for each loop in which 5 labels should be created.Each time the loop restarts the 5 labels should appear in a tabpage.The problem is, it only makes a label once, then it keeps on mving the label to a different tab instead of creating a new one for each tab.
It loops 5 times, thus filling 5 labels.Then the next 5 labels should get filled in a new tab.But it just moves the original labels. How do I force it to create a new label each time?

I have a form that uses 28 checkboxes (checkBox1 ~ checkBox28), 28 labels (label1 ~ label28), and 28 textboxes (textBox1 ~ textBox28). These items need to be visible/invisible depending on the mode of the program (there are 5 modes). I could specify each item individually with visibility, but that requires a whole lotta code! Is there a way I can loop through 28 labels?

Is it possible to change many labels inside a for loop? Let's say I have labels 1 to 4. Can I do something like:
for i = 1 to 4

View 5 RepliesI want to be able to reveal and then populate a certain number of labels. The inefficient way would be to SELECT CASE on the number of labels required and then populate these in turn. I am looking for something like this:
For i = 1 to RequiredNumOfLabels
Label & i.visible = true
Label & i.text = DataTable.Rows(i).Item(2)[code]......
is the problem as after the line is executed, lbl still equals nothing.The reasoning behind it is that I was trying to create an invoice generator in vb.net and I was hoping that this would be a simple way to do it - count the amount of items in the order, populate the labels with the names of the items, reveal that many labels.
I have attached the form in initial state. What you don't see in the initial state is 10 hidden labels. I want the loop(which I am calling as a function??) to compute the numbers and display in the labels. Example, if I input 1 for the first term, 3 for the second term and 4 for the total terms, the first 4 labels should become visible and have in them one solution each:
1 - 1
2 - 3
3 - 4
4 - 7
Am I way off with what I want to do? Cannot use arrays, must be a loop.This is the compute button:
Private Sub BtnComp_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnComp.Click

in the program im trying to make i have a button that when clicked starts a fairly lengthly loop, takes a couple minutes to complete. while this is happening im trying to send the an update of the loops progress to a listbox i have setup. Unfortunately these updates dont make it to the list box until the loop is finished, ive tried this with a few different types (progress bar/ rich text box etc). i cant seem to get any form changes through while the loop is in progress.
Is there some option or event thing i need to specify to be able to make changes to the form while in a loop?
I am not getting any errors. But the update query is not executed as it does not change the database.

I have a program which I'm designing to help organize and move some of my music around. I can create a play list and then add music to it, when I do this it copies the mp3 files to a specified folder and also updates a listbox with the content of that folder.
The code works, however when I run it the program locks up until everything has been copied, the listbox goes from blank at the start to suddenly showing the whole list.[code]...
I am creating a program to simulate a tenpin bowling scoring system, and I'm using labels with the following name structure:Player1Frame1Ball1, Player1Frame1Ball2, etc.. I have following variables also: CurrentPlayer, CurrentFrame, CurrentBallI am hoping to use these variables to specify which label I would like to check the value of (the score achieved, placed in the label).

Basically I am trying to update each record with 2 random numbers each time the button was clicked,my problem now is, the system will update the record but the data was wrong. Example, by right all data should be different (randomly string) but for some row it was updated with same data but in randomly, something row1 row2 row3 has exactly same data for column 1 and 2 then row 3 has distinct data, second time, row1 row2 same data row3 ro4 with different data. It is in random sequence. When I add a MsgBox to do testing in the For loop the data was updated correctly with all different data.
I have a simple in VB/ASP.NET form containing two text boxes, I am attempting to apply some validation to the first text box using JavaScript. This is the first time I have attempted this and am having some trouble.I have a label beside the text box stating an error, this labels visibility property is set to False. I wish the labels visibility to turn true if the text box is empty when the user loses focus.For this I have used the onBlur option within the tags of the text box. It then calls the JavaScript function and should set the label to Visible but it does not. I have tested to see if it is entering the function by using an alert instead and that works. The problem seems to be trying to alter the visibility property of the label.
Here is the portion of my code:
The JavaScript:
function myRegEx(frm) {
if ( boxUsername.value == "" ) {
invalidUser.visible = True;

I have a program with lots of buttons and textfields etc in my main class (I guess), in the default on called Form1.
Aaand, I want to create a class, but can someone tell me how to change the text on labels and buttons from that other class, since the labels and such exsists in the main class?
How can i change two .text values of two label objects from one class?
I mean right now for me to change the text of two seperate labels i have two create two indavidual classes for each label to rename them.
But is there a way for the class, to change the names of both labels according to the class without having to create a seperate class for each label?[code]...

so i have this code which is trying to allow the user click the label (of which there are 26) and then decide whether the letter in the label matches the letter that has been generated in the radio button. I KNOW there is a more simplified to do this and much less code to write but i cant work it out. this is an image of what im trying to achieve but instead of buttons change those to radio buttons x 3.
