I am trying to access controls that were added to the form and created code all before I added them to a panel. Upon form loading I create the form handle into a dictionary. then I call that dictionary ID and add data to the controls. I can't seem to add data to the controls inside the panel.. I think it is something simple. I may just be over looking the method I need to call.

I have an application that has a grid of rich text boxes on a panel. I would like to access and modify the text in the various rich text boxes during run time. I know this has been brought up a bazillon times over the years, but I would have done this as a series of control arrays in VB 6. Below is a simplified representation of how the textboxes would appear in a panel if control arrays were availble:
rtbA(1) rtbB(1) rtbC(1)
rtbA(2) rtbB(2) rtbC(2)
rtbA(3) rtbB(3) rtbC(3)
I find that I can access the properties of the rich text boxes via panel1.controls.item(x).text, for example, where x is the control index assigned by the panel when I dropped the controls on it.
Since I created the rich text boxes at design time and dropped them on the panel, it has arbitrarily assigned the index values, and they are not in the index order that I would desire.
How does one re-assign a control's index at design time for a controls collection on a panel? And if one has 24 text boxes on one panel, is there a way to break them into subgroups, such as rtbA(), rtbB(), rtbC() with their own index values?
But I don't know if i posted this at the right place. I am making 40 textboxes inside a panel. And this textboxes I set it to visible=FALSE. Then I have another textbox named txtNoteam in which once the user will enter a number in this txtbox which is less than or equal to 40, those textboxes will be set to true starting from textbox1 to textbox40 depending on the number entered by the user. Example: user enters 3, then textbox 1 to textbox 3 will be set to visible.
I was successful in doing this except one thing, instead of textbox 1 to textbox 3 will be set to visible, it's the textbox 38 to textbox 40 will be set first. This means it will start from the last textbox to the first textbox instead of from textbox1 to the last textbox.
I need your help on what should I do for this to be able to set it to visible from the 1st textbox to the last textbox or is there any other ways of doing this?

I am trying to create an app that adds tabpages into a tabcontrol which has a several controls on each tabpages. However how do I access those controls?lets say the controls I add are named label1 and label2. the tabpage is named infoTab1.
If I do inftoTab.infoTab1.label1.Text = "some text" I get an error saying infoTab is not a member of 'system.windows.forms.tabcontrols' cause in design time it isn't added yet.So how is this actually done? am I on the right track?Any tutorials are more then welcome, tried google but only get basic concept stuff comes out it or trying the wrong keywords.
When I try to access the controls of a form which is not yet created (i.e. to modify the contents of a text box , to press a button etc) , I fail , usually without even an error message . I found out that the only way to make my program go right is to take care that the form is first created before I try to access anything on that form . However this means I must use the Show method to create it and then to Hide it , which leads to an instant awful optical effect . I remember back in VB6 there wasn't such a problem ; it seems that in VB6 each time I accessed a control on a not-created form led to the form being created silently . Is there any way I could do that in .NET too in order to access my precious controls ?

View 1 RepliesWhen a user is editing a given piece of data, they're allowed to add messages/comments. These are stored as child records in a SQL database. Clicking on the Add Message button brings up a panel (pnlMessage) courtesy of the AJAX ModalPopup Extender. This takes some input and, when the "Send Message" button in the panel is clicked (I learned the hard way to NOT make that the 'OkButton' property), the message is stored in the database and an email is sent to the intended recipients. No problem there.
However, I need to be able to allow the user to add new email addresses (so long as they are registered in our database). I have another ModalPopup / panel combo (pnlSearch) that's tied to a button on the previous panel (pnlMessage).
The user is supposed to be able to add an email or click on a search button to populate a list to choose from.
The pop-up panel (pnlSearch) comes up just fine, but clicking the "Lookup" button (which instigates the search and returns a collection of records that the user is supposed to pick from) closes the panel.
Previously, I ran into the problem of having the Button.Click event never firing when I put the Button into the "OkControlID" property (the CancelControlID works fine since I don't want to do anything). Removing the "OkControlID=Button" line allowed it to work perfectly with the Button.Click event firing as expected.
So now I have the Search panel with a button for "OK" and a button for "Search" - but the panel should stay up and visible after the Search.Click does it's thing. Am I missing some property that basically says "don't close the panel when this button is clicked"? Of course, if I bring up the panel again in the same session, the results from the previous effort are there (the search results).
I wanted to know if anyone could tell me how to access the Click_event.I have a boarderles form with a panel control which has the Dock property set to fill and on the panel I have placed a Label also with the Dock property set to fill. I also have a timer running.How can I get code to execute in the Label1 click event.I've tried doing it by using the generic Click_event and also with two variations of the Click_event Handles parameters

In VB6 I could embed a panel or picturebox containing controls or images within an outer panel or picturebox. If I moved the outer control then the embedded panel would move with the outer panel and stay in the same relative position, which is what I require. This doesn't seem to happen in VB.NET, the internal panel stays fixed in its location, even if I have pasted this panel within the outer container. Is there are trick to this or do I have to code to get the internal panel to move with the outer one? How does an internal container remain embedded within an outer one?
View 4 RepliesI have an external project (DLL) that I have referenced in my project. One of the requirements of using that DLL is to include an XML file in the same directory as the DLL. Now I know in a production environment I could just add that DLL to the GAC and place the XML file in that same folder. However, that doesn't help me when I'm trying to debug it. I have tried including it into the BIN directory but it never gets moved to the Temp directory when compiled.

I have some variables that are distinct by numbers, like in1, in2...If I have for loop, how would I access those variables, using the counter, and attaching it to the variable?I believe in JAVA, you could just use in+ct... where ct is the counter to access the variable.also how could you make a new variable in the for loop?Initially I had variables declare outside of the for loop. The problem was how to access those variables using the for loop.
var_nm1 = in1.Text
var_nm2 = in2.Text
var_nm3 = in3.Text
Dim nmList(2) As Integer

View 12 RepliesI have a question about getting control inside of a panel to appear Here's what I am trying to do:I have 2 database maintenance screens done with both details and grid.
Customer
Inventory
I have all the Customer table data on 1 panel control (pnlCustomer) that has textbox and datagridview controls. The visible property is set to True because this is the first UI that I want to appear when the form loads Next I created another panel for the Inventory data (pnlInventory) and I added contols to that in detail and datagrid views. I placed the Inventory panel directly on top of the Customer panel. The visible properly is set to False My intentions are that when the employee selects the Inventory button that the Customer panel will hide() and the Inventory panel will show().
I have tried a number of things but they do not work. What happens is that when the Inventory button is selected the Customer panel and all it's controls will actually hide but the Inventory panel will not appear. If it is opening, then there are no controls visible...and I checked to make sure that the property of all controls in the Inventory panel are set to Visible = true
Here is what I have tried:
' on form load
pnlCustomer.Visible = True ... also tried .show()
pnlInventory.Visible - False ... also tried .hide()

I have an app with 24 different Forms. They have some security options based on which the 5 different buttons Submit, Approve, 2nd Approve, 3rd Approve, Reject etc get enabled disabled.Now I designed a MainForm that has all the buttons and the security code for them. I have created eachform as a usercontrol and load them dynamically based on which form the user wants. My loading works perfectly fine. I load the control and Add it to the place holder in the Page load event of the main page.
Now when the user selects the Submit button I want to call the Save method inside the usercontrol of the Form as each form will have a separate Save. So when I try this code snippet I get the Null reference error. Do let me know how to resolve it.
Private UCDynamic As UserControl
Then on Page Load event I use this code
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
If not Me.IsPostBack
UCDynamic = LoadControl("Controls/BkCode.ascx")
Me.PlaceHolderForm.Controls.Add(UCDynamic)
End if
Then on the ButtonClick Event for Submit I do this
Protected Sub Save_OnClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Save()
End Sub
