VS 2008 Accessing Dynamically Created Picturebox?
Mar 22, 2012
For school and other reasons, i am making an application in which the user can draw tile based backgrounds, to then turn into long line of code , i think called CSV , which can then be used in programs such as flash, to draw a tile based background. I am currently making a flash game, and dont really like the other tile array making programs out there.
For instance, code such as [1,0,1],[0,1,0],[1,0,1] with the correct code would generate a 3x3 tile background with an X shape.Anyway, at the moment i am currently stuck.I have code up and running which generates a 2 dimensional background out of pictureboxes randomly, however thats as far as i got, i dont know how to access the pictureboxes created.
What i have right now is two variables, gridX and gridY, which determine the amount of tiles placed in a for loop. These variables would be used to determine the size of multidimensional arrays that store the tile data, and determine the map size.i intended each image to be clickable, so that its picture would change from black to white when clicked
When clicked, the tile would switch between two images, to represent two different tiles. at the same time, a value in an array created with the tile, would change from 1 to 0.Then when its time to make the code, i simply use a for loop to spit out the array in the way i want.
I understand that i could perhaps create a class for the pictureboxes, but i dont know how to, since ive never dealt with them, and i dont understand any of the guides and tuts.how to use a class so that i could add and change the properties of multiple dynamically created pictureboxes, but also change the value of an array created with the picturebox, when clicked?
i need all of this to be done however without adding or including any additional libraries or anything to visual basic as it will be graded on school computers.

My current project involves displaying questions/answers from two different databases to be used to compare values and make judgements. The number of questions, choices, and answers is all variable. Thus I am attempting to create labels dynamically to show the information on the screen and create textboxes to leave comments. My problem is not knowing how to then access these lables, since I can't code in to use "label_comments" & (i) as it doesn't exist (at least, I can't get it to work).
First, my code for creating and displaying the information:
db_connection = New SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnectionStringMerrill3"))
db_connection.Open()

I have a program I'm working on that, for one of the features, allows the user to drag an image from a picturebox, into the main form space, anywhere they want. [code]...
When trying to drag the image from the CurrentTilePicBox, the very moment I move the mouse while dragging the cursor becomes a circle with a cross and won't drag and drop into the new picturebox.

I'm having trouble trying to access a list of comboboxes created dynamically in one procedure from another. I believe I have to add in an event handler but I not sure how this is going to work. Or should I change the array scope?
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

I can usually find the answers to most of my questions via the Google Gods, but not this time.I have a form that has a TabPageControl and on that page a collection of labels and text boxes via a usercontrol.
On the form I have a button that allows the user to create a new tabpage, when the code adds a new page, it automatically adds the UserControl collection. I can't get my head around how to access the objects on the newly created tabpage.
What I need to be able todo is take the index of the tabpage that has focus and translate that against the UerContol name, but I havn't a clue how to do it!

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.

I am trying to access objects created at run time.The following code works IF Options Strict is off. If it is on it indicates "Option Strict On disallows implicit conversions from 'System.Windows.Forms.Control' to 'System.Windows.Forms.TextBox'."
Option Strict Off
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim txt As TextBox = Me.Controls("T3")
[code]....
I am having trouble formulating the type conversion.A Second problem I am having occurs when I create a groupbox at runtime and then add the textboxes to the groupbox. I am having trouble drilling down to gain access to the textboxes inside the groupbox.

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 ?

I'm creating a certain number of objects based on some templates that I have available to the user. Then, I have a module created for each template where I will be doing some math operations, etc.
I know how many objects will be created, but of course visual studio doesn't at design time.

newhydzone = New PictureBox

I had created another thread asking how to create OvalShapes during runtime... Ok, so I have that covered, but what I need to know how to add properties to these OvalShapes individually. The OvalShapes are stored in the List(Of OvalShapes) if I create a loop from 0 to the length of the list it modifies all the OvalShapes with the same propertiesWhat I�m trying to do is make like 5-10 balls collide, this is why I need these properties to be individual to each OvalShape.

I have this code.
Code:
Public Class Form1
Dim NPB As Button
Dim x As Integer
[code]....
As you can see, when I open a program from my menu, a new button will be created with text similar to this, "C:Program ". The button it self will not do anything. How can I create the method at the same time the button it is for is created? Also how can I change the text do that it gives me, for example, CCleaner.exe instead of the whole target path?

I have created a page that creates a number textboxes at runtime depending on the result of a database query, (ie one textbox per row in query result). My problem is that I can't for the life of me work out how on earth to access the text from the textbox that is posted back to the server by the user when they press submit.

I have used the following code to generate buttons dynamically. I want to know how to code in such a way that if i click one button, there should be some change done to some other button in the same form. Since all the buttons are generated in the loop, i do not know how to call one button elsewhere in the code.

Basically in visual basic 6 I could access word tables in existing templates with the code owordactivedoc.tables(1).select() where owordactivedoc refers to the active word document and tables(1) refers to the first table in the template.Trying the same code in VB 2003 just leads to errors. Secondly how do I access bookmarks or alternatively word variables.Furthermore how do one deploy web.services. For example the current program I am building is for another computer. Simply copying the web service to Inetpubwwwroot dont work because it is not picked up by the Internet Information Services program. I have to create the web service in vb2003 on the other computer change msconfig manually. Copy and paste the existing service vb file in the created folder replacing the empty vb file.

I've got a form with a FlowLayoutPanel (flpPhotos) containing several PictureBoxes that are created on-the-fly based on the photos in the specified directory. What I'm trying to do is right-click on any photo and select an option to delete that photo, view a larger version, etc. When I right-click on an image and select Delete in the PictureBox's ContextMenuStrip, I'm getting a NullReferenceException in the deletion method. When debugging, _selectedImg is Nothing, for reasons I don't understand, as a reference is saved to it in the selected PictureBox's MouseDown event. Incidentally, _selectedPB is also Nothing.
Private _selectedImg As String ' The file path of the image in the selected PictureBox
Private _selectedPB As PictureBox ' The PictureBox whose ContextMenuStrip has been instantiated

My process is as follows:I access a database table to determine what questions to ask (20-100 questions).Each question is display along with, possibly, a "done" button.My code to do this is as follows:
If datareader("Who_Second").ToString = lbl_Your_Position.Text Then
Dim b1 As New ImageButton
b1.ID = "btn_second" & datareader("QCC_Q_ID").ToString
[code]....
What I need to do for each button is strip out what the "QCC_Q_ID" is for that button and insert information into another table of the DB.My partial code for this is as follows:
Sub btn_done_clicked(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.ImageClickEventArgs)
Dim MyDate As Date
Dim QCC_Q_ID, Position As String
[code]....
Two problems:1. My sub is never being called, so I can only assume that my "addhandler" is not working.2. QCC_Q_ID = e.ToString.... That doesn't seem right - is it? What I need to do is get the name of the button (btn_second13) and get just the number out of that (13). Is there any easier way to keep track of that ID?
