I know how to create a control at runtime e.g.[code]Can anyone tell me how to create multiple instances using a for-next loop? e.g.[code]The part I can't work out is how to give each new button a new name... like button1, button2 etc
View 4 RepliesAt design time in the IDE, you can ctrl-click or drag a box around multiple controls on a form and move them all at once. How do you do that at runtime. I need to be able to create image maps based on textual copies of medical claim forms that are generated from different systems and the ability to create dynamic label controls and move a single or multiple controls and resize is required. How does MS do this in the IDE?
View 7 Replies1. i added a datagrid at runtime on a form. i want to bind a datasource to the datagrid in a button's click event handler, but the datagrid doesn't seem to be visible anywhere else outside the form load event where it is declared. how can i find the datagrid control?
2. and another beginner question.. how to i declare a string that spans multipe lines? i tried with the + operator like in c#, but it doesn't work.

I 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 Repliesim trying to work with adding controls in runtime. Anyways ive added a ContextMenuStrip control in runtime and added a item called "Display". The ContextMenuStrip is also added to textbox's that are also added in runtime and when i right click a textbox i see the "Display" but i want it to do "msgbox(textbox.text)" when i click "Display".

i want to make a paint sort of program and so i have read about how to add controls at runtime. but i cant figure out how to change the properties of the control... for ex, if i add a line( that is the user clicks the line tool on the toolbar) he should be able to place it anywhere on the area available, and after that also if later he wishes to select it and resize/change color etc. it can be done.
View 4 RepliesI have an MDI application which uses fixed sized forms. I've started to change the forms to sizeable and anchored the controls so they move when the form is resized. If the child form has a menu this jumps onto the parent menu (as it always has done) but all the controls move up the form at runtime and leave a space at the bottom of the child. If I change the form in design mode to cut through the bottom controls i.e. so the form doesn't appear tall enough, it corrects itself at runtime. Is there another workaround as it looks misleading in the designer.
View 3 RepliesI have a custom control that the User can add to the form. They can add as many of these controls as they like.When they add a control, I am going to populate another custom control, a textbox, in another panel.I need to figure out how to associate that new control with the previous one.So, let's say the User creates 3, let's say "Boxes", three TextBoxes are created. When the User adds something to Box1, TextBox1 needs to be populated a specific string.I know how to create and add the control as needed, but I can't figure out how to associate the controls, if that make sense.In order to distinguish the Boxes, I've added a label to them that represents each iteration of the box. The numbers start at 1 and increase from there.I was thinking I could use that to associate the TextBoxes and am working on that now.
View 3 Replieshow to change the properties of control which are created at run time. The actual situation goes like this: I will be creating 4 picture boxes at runtime and assigning pictures to them. Now if i wanted to change those pictures, i am not getting how to call those picture boxes.
View 6 Repliesi have a folder with around 120 images, small icon size.
Id like to load all these images into pictureboxes and have this code so far
Dim newPictureBox1 As New PictureBox
newPictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile("C:MyLocationHereImage.png")
newPictureBox1.Location = New Point(12, 50)

This code works and adds 1 image, my question is how to add all images in like a list format but with images ?
I have a form that I will be using to keep track of data for computers I build and will eventually link into a database for configuration management, but for right now I'm just trying to get the basic form layout done and functional. I need this for to be customized for each job I do, that means I can have multiple computers, PC card, peripheral equipment, etc. So with that said basically what I have done is created a user control for each separate item that I want to add (i.e. computer, PC card, etc) that has all the fields and functions I require. When I want to add another computer I just add a tab and place my "computer" user control on it, no big deal...
My issue is when I want to add my "PC card" user control to that "computer" user control. What I am trying to do is to add the first user control(PC Card Info) I created under a button called "Add New PC Card" (which is part of the "computer" user control.)and that part works! What I want to do is keep added as many "pc card"user controls as I need and basically keep appending them under the last control on the bottom of the page (which is the "pc card" user control, that is a groupbox with a few drop down boxes and text boxes in it.)with a little spacing between them. The biggest problem I am having is when I add the first "PC Card" user control, it works.. but when I try to add another one and search the current page for all user controls under a certain point or with a specific name, I don't get any results.
I think I'm on the right track with the following code but I am running into 2 things I can't do that are critical to my needs. 1: I need to define the text of the user control I just added so I can uniquely identify it, so If I need to remove it I can and will also play a role later( I thought if there was some way in code to make my control # a variable that may work) 2: I need to know what to look for since I have a count that represents how many of that particular control exist on my form, that way I can name them properly, this will also allow me a method to delete the user control if desired.
Dim pccard As New PC_Card
Dim x As Integer
Dim name As String

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

I am making an application that uses multiple WebBrowser controls, and multiple proxies.The code for changing the proxy settings are as such:
#Region "Proxy"
Public Structure Struct_INTERNET_PROXY_INFO
Public dwAccessType As Integer
Public proxy As IntPtr
[code]....
Note: getRandomProxy gets a random proxy from a list.Problem is that whenever RefreshIESettings(getRandomProxy()) is applied, the proxy will be applied to all of the WebBrowsers, while i would need to have a unique proxy for each WebBrowser. Not having this would just error out the page in the other browsers and so on.
"add controls at runtime" how to add code to the controls. kinda useless with no code, ehh? all results only told me how to add the control, that's it. well, this result is different. i will teach you firstly how to add controls at runtime, then how to apply code to them at runtime
Firstly, add the controls:
[CODE]..............
Now run it. do you have a button on the form? if yes, excellent. if not, you made a mistake. try again now how to add code? you may have noticed that when you double click on any control, it says private sub button1_click(blah, blah, blah) Handles button1.click where it says handles button1.click is what determines when the code executes under what event for what control (in this case the click event for the button1). this won't work when adding code at runtime. did you notice in the above example i added a with event, and addHandler? this is what creates the handler (same as Handles button1.click)
Now we add the code for the runtime control
[CODE].........
Above, the addressOf button1_click tells the program to execute the sub button1_click when the button is clicked on (as determined by .click) but i know what you're thinking! your thinking "why would we even BOTHER doing this at runtime? isn't it easier to do it at design-time in the first place?" yes it is, providing your not writing a plugin. plugins are code based, not GUI (also reffered to as WYSIWYG). to update existing forms using plugins, you need to use this method.

I did something that when I now load my program(VB 2008), my controls; combo boxes, buttons, progress bar, etc. look like they are from VB 2005 or like VBA buttons, not the rounded edge buttons of 2008.
They look like vb 2008 controls while I am in design view, but then they change their style when I run the program..
I have a situation where i'm populating records in datagridview from a table where first column is the ParameterName, Second Column is ParameterValue and third column is ParameterType.When i click on second column in any row as per the records, it should show the control type in this cell as per the third column parameterType.[code]

I was wondering if there was a way to dispose a control that i generated at runtime in a diffrent block of code, The reason why i can't dispose of the control in the same block of code is that the controls settings depend on what the user imputs. For example if i generate the control on a timer tick the code would look like this,

In the helpfiles of Visual Studio 2008 I read control arrays are no longer supported. There is an example for the new situation but then you need to hard code the names of all the controls beforehand.I do not know how many controls I need, could be one or 5000 (think simple image browser). Is it still possible to create something like that or should I change to a different programming language like Phyton? At the moment I work around it by using a browser control and then manipulate the <img> tags but I'm puzzeld as to why this functionality was removed and if there's a solution to the problem.Another thing I don't understand is where the app goes when it's installed with 'Click once'. It dissappears completely, doesn't show up in 'Program Files', can not be found by the search function but it *is* somewhere because you can start it form the Start menu. However, I use data which is in a subfolder of the program folder, which I nor my program can find any more after the app is installed. The program runs but it can't find any place to put/get its data so in the end it doesn't work.
I work around it by *not* installing the program but have people just run it after unpacking the downloaded folder. This works great but I wonder how long this will be the case until Microsoft disables this possibility? I have no idea why they would, but I also have no idea why they did remove the functionality I mentioned above. I already changed to PHP and MySQL because I had to throw away my carefully built W2K+MSAccess image database a few years ago and after installing Vista Visual Studio 2005 was a goner. OK, I upgraded but then no control arrays any more and now they hide the apps when you install them? Why on earth would they do that?
I am attempting to move all controls on a form down or up by the height of a menubar depending on whether it is visible or not. I have code which I think ought to work well for this, however it seems that Me.Controls is empty at runtime, so my for each loop is never entered. Could someone please offer a suggestion as to how I can move the controls?

How do you position controls loaded at runtime to align middle? I'm not looking to match the x y coordinates as the heights vary.
For example loading 2 text boxs and 2 labels.
I've tried using the Anchor and Dock properties but with no joy.
e.g.
txtNewTextBox = New TextBox
txtNewTextBox.Name = "name"
txtNewTextBox.Dock = DockStyle.Fill

I have to implement an application that allow the user to design his own card, the user will be able to drag and drop controls from toolbox and move them in the form and re-size them.

I have created a custom control in visual studio 2005. It contains a picture box with and image in it with 2 text boxes on top. I want to be able to resize this image by selecting the edge and clicking and dragging it.
View 1 RepliesI have so far written a program where you click a button and a custom control is added to the form. These controls can then be dragged and positioned anywhere on the form.I know want to be able to align/snap these controls.Please advise if you know of a way to drag a control on a form and snap it in line with another control?
