I can't use the normal method, my controls (picture boxes) names contain numbers such as 00, 01, 02 etc which corrispond to my multidimenional array.
I'm attempting change the picturebox's values in a for loop via the counter in the loop, for example:
For i = 1 To 4
PictureBox(i).enabled = False 'Picturebox1 will be the first one(counter starts at 1)
Next
I basically need to access each one as I would with an array, I can't type the full names out, can only refer to them via their names + counter number because I don't know what control name I would be dealing with at that time in the loop.
I am rather irritated at this. I have no clue why looping through controls on a form and in groupboxes leaves out 75% of the controls.
Here's the code I have:
Dim settings As String = "" Dim gbControl As Control Dim gbbox As Control
[Code]....
I want to have setting save all settings to an ini file, and not have to reprogram the saving routine when I add a group box or control. At random times, any number of controls can be disabled, checkboxes can be checked and unchecked, radiobuttons can be checked and unchecked. Regardless of the state of the control, I want the control to show up in the loop. But they don't. Only controls that are enabled and only checkboxes that are checked, every other control state is ignored. That's crap, and is definitely not what is needed by any programmer of any type. We're capable of determining if a control is enabled, hidden, checked, visible, and otherwise.
How do I get the controls to be included in the loop regardless of their state?
I have aspx form with several textboxes.They are populated with values from a table via retrieval of a dataview.If the row count for the dataview is 0, then I'd like to reset the values in all textboxes. How can I loop through all the textboxes and set a default value?I've tried the following, but no sucess.
For Each ctrl As Control In Page.Form.Controls If TypeOf ctrl Is WebControls.TextBox Then CType(ctrl, WebControls.TextBox).Text = "" End If Next
My first For Loop was using Page.Controls but it returned only 1 count.The textboxes are inside a tabpanel (ajax), so do I have to locate the tabpage and then find all it's controls (for each tabpage)?
I want to loop through all the controls on a "panel" and bind them to a datatable. I'm finding it hard to detect the "end of the panel" - as I also have group boxes and such on the panel. At first I was using the "parent" control - but that doesn't work with group boxes.
I've to show some PowerPacks.RectangleShape in a PowerPacks.ShapeContainer. A loop in my code add shapes to the container
(objshapecontainer.shapes.add(objshape), but at the end of the loop, only the last shape is displayed, in fact objshapecontainer.shapes.count doesn't exceed 1
I have the following code to dynamically add handler to my controls
Private Sub HandleMyControls(ByVal Proc As EventHandler) For Each c As Control In Controls Select Case IsContainerControl(c)
[Code].....
There are some subs and functions that help me in what to change and where to loop. My problem is that right now, I can set only .enter event of the control I tried to set parameter as Event but i got an error on that. So, what I want to do is something like this:
Private Sub HandleMyControls(Event as ???????, ByVal Proc As EventHandler) If MatchControl(c) Then AddHandler c.Event, Proc End If
I can use the below code snippet to clear the text from each textbox on a form. For Each ctl As Control In Me.Controls If TypeOf ctl Is TextBox Then ctl.Text = "" End If Next
But if I want to use it to ensure that all radiobuttons in a group of radio buttons are unchecked then it doesn't work i.e. For Each ctl As Control In Me.Controls If TypeOf ctl Is RadioButton Then ctl.checked = false End If Next I'm assuming it is because the checked property is not common to all controls.
What I am trying to do is dynamically create a bunch of dropdown lists and then I want to loop through them and update the database with those values, but the problem I am facing is that I create the dropdown lists, but then when I go back to loop through them they are no longer in the panel. I don't know why but when I am debugging I have a count of 50 controls in pnlTeacherSelect right up until I press the button that calls prcChoose.
I'm trying to load a file where this file has, like, 10 lines. And I want to load each line (0 to 9) to each TextBox in my app (TextBox1 until TextBox10). So, there's a way to do this with a counter?
Like this mine code (that doesn't works): If (System.IO.File.Exists("configs.ini")) Then Dim configs As String() = System.IO.File.ReadAllText("configs.ini").Split(vbNewLine) Const Max As Integer = 9 Dim TextBoxes(Max) As TextBox For i = 0 To Max TextBoxes(i + 1).Text = configs(i) Next End If
Basically what I have are two loops, one inside the other, that will run until the given condition is met. Exactly what I want. My problem is that I want to be able to use the controls, like buttons, while a loop is going on.
I originally did not think of this until I had built this part of my program, what I want to know is if there is a way to use controls while a loop is going on or if their is an alternative.
1)I know timers can be used to meet these goals, but they did not work out as I had hoped and using two timers (1 to represent each loop) I do not believe is efficient.
2)I have considered using recursion, but have found this may not be very efficient either and am not quite sure if this will do what I want.
These loops run as long as the number the user inputted. So it could theoretically run for 100,000+ times. I am not looking for speed, but it would be good if there were a faster method that allowed me to use controls while it loops.
Dim i As Integer For i = 1 To 20 Dim captionTextBox As TextBox = DirectCast(Me.FindControl("news_Image" +
[Code].....
Where the comment is in the code above, I need to insert the value of the textbox (text) into Linq columns. For example: articleToUpdate.news_Image1Caption, news_Image2Caption, but I need to change the number after news_ to the value of i in the for loop.
How do you add an arbitrary number of controls to a form at run time? With indexed controls I could define the 'seed' control at design time and reference 'clones' of the 'seed' control at run time via the index. Now I must declare each additional instance of the control at run time then set each individual property that differs from the default for that control for each instance. Then I must add the newly declared control to the appropriate container controls collection. I'd like to do this in a loop but how can I get away from using a fixed control name in the declaration:
Dim controlname As New Control
I can't use a string that I can manipulate the contents of for controlname because it sees it as a double declaration. I can't use an array such as Control(index) for controlname. Dim Control(maxindex) As New Control doesn't work. Dim Control(maxindex) As Control works but any assignment based on this such as Control(indexvalue).Name = "ControlName" fails. It didn't address the issue of handling the declaration of new controls in a loop with some kind of variable name for the control.
I have a BackgroundWorker and the DoWork event, calls a function called "JustMe", it executes a loop to make visible all the controls on a panel, but does not work vb.net
Private Function JustMe As Boolean For Each ctr As Control In Panel1.Controls ctr.Visible = True Next Return True End Function Private Sub BackgroundWorker1_DoWork(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles BackgroundWorker1.DoWork JustMe() End Sub
I have a bunch of controls loaded into the same row/column in a TableLayoutPanel. I only have one at controls visible property set to TRUE at a given time. I want to be able to loop through the controls that specific row/column position in the TableLayoutPanel and test for a condition (control type) and then set this control's property to TRUE and all others to FALSE. Bascially I am turning controls on/off.
I know can loop through an entire TableLayoutPanel like this:
For each control in TableLAyoutPanel.Controls Next
How do I restrict this loop to a specific row/column in the TableLayoutPAnel? Can you qualify where specifically you want to look in the container control?
I am trying to make a collection of controls that I can loop through. So I have this code in my form... Dim WizardFrameCollection As New Control.ControlCollection(Nothing)
I then try to add controls to the collection by I get a error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." WizardFrameCollection.Add(Me.GroupBox1) I am not sure why I am getting this error. Groupbox1 is a groupbox that is on the form.
I have a form with a tab control, containing a small number of tab pages. I'm writing a sub procedure to clear the controls within a groupbox for the selected tab. A selected tab will only ever contain ONE groupbox and within a groupbox will be command buttons, labels, text boxes and possibly a combobox. The first block of code below firstly finds the groupbox within the selected tab. The next part loops around all control type and if of type texbox clears the text.
Now hears the head scratcher/confusion it error's with :- Unable to cast object of type 'System.Windows.Forms.Button' to type 'System.Windows.Forms.GroupBox Which I don't understand as I cant see where Im converting objects simply looping through all controls and then ONLY if type of control is textbox then clear text.
'Loop around all controls in form, simplified that all controls 'are within a SINGLE groupbox and clear contents or reset to default value Dim groupbox = (From grpbx In tabAdmin.SelectedTab.Controls _ Select grpbx = DirectCast(grpbx, GroupBox) _ Where TypeOf grpbx Is GroupBox) [Code] .....
I have a form with many buttons on it and I would like to loop through all the controls in a group control and find out which button is clicked.
I plan to use the click event of the button and I know it's easy to create a click event procedure for all of the buttons but would like to avoid that.
Any hunk of code that loops trough the windows form controls array, and based on top/left to bottom/right, resets the TabIndex property? I've mashed a huge form together and expect my user community to want to move things around, and I don't want to have to fool around with this over and over again.
Makes the following statement about the code below:
**"The computer evaluates the loop condition in the Do...Loop statment to determine whether the loop instructions should be processed. In this case, the inputsales <> String.Empty condition compares the contenst of the input sales variable to the String.Empty value. As you know the String.Empty value represents a zero length, or empty, string if the inputsales variable is empty, the loop condition evaluates to True and the computer process the loop instructions. *If on the other hand the inputsales variable is not empty, the loop condition evaluates to false and the computer skips over the loop instructions.
Based on the code I think it is the opposite: ...that while the inputsales value is not empty it should evaluate to true and process the loop and if it is empty it should evaluate to false and skip the loop?
I am trying to cycle throught the lables on my form but it would appear that I am missing quite a few labels... I have a total of 69 lables on my form and I only get 5 hits on the msgbox.
Dim ctl As Control For Each ctl In Me.Controls If TypeOf ctl Is Label Then
How do I overlay a control that is transparent over another one without showing the picture behind it? I want to put an image in a picturebox and the draw several controls over it that are invisible. To make a interactive adventure game
We are binding most of our text boxes and dropdown boxes to a BINDING NAVIGATOR (with a DATA SOURCE of a DATA TABLE).When the BN is clicked through the text boxes all change immediately.We need to use some non-bound controls as well.First one is 4 radio buttons that when clicked will change a single value in a DATA TABLE.What would be the best method to do this? Should I track when the CURRENTCHANGED event occurs on the BINDING NAVIGATOR.I'm thinking that I could trick this by BINDING the SINGLE FIELD to a HIDDEN TEXTBOX and when that textbox CHANGED event occurs mess with the radio buttons and visa-versa.
