Populate Comboxes Dynamically?
Jan 6, 2012I have a windows form in VB.NET. In that I create two Comboboxes dynamically during runtime. Lets name them CB_A and CB_B. Now when these are created, CB_A is populated by calling the handler which is created while creating the control.I want to populate CB_B which will depend on the value selected in CB_A. e.g. The first value in CB_A will populate one set of values in CB_B while the second will populate another set and so on...The approach which I tried was get the name of the CB_A and then deduce the name of CB_B, but it does not recognise as it says it cannot change from string to objec(combobox).

Use Labels Dynamically And Populate Them From A Dataset?
Mar 8, 2011I am creating an electronic display board using Visual Studio 2005, this will be an application using VB and not web based.What I am trying to do is use labels dynamicly and populate them from a dataset, Now there is a lot of labels on this board and to be honest the perfect solution would be to use a Data Grid View, unfortuantly I have to fit the information into a Custom Graphic that was created, hence the reason for labels.So obliviously I dont want to have to name each label and specify its information, for example:
Code:
Label1.text = MyDataSet.Tables(0).Rows(0).Item(0)
Label2.text = MyDataSet.Tables(0).Rows(1).Item(0)
Label3.text = MyDataSet.Tables(0).Rows(2).Item(0)
So I thought about something as follows but not sure how to get it work.Say I new I had 100 Labels Label1 to Label100.
Code:
Dim i as Integer
For i = 1 to 100
[code]....
Now the above doesnt work but it doesnt throw up any errors either.

Jun 18, 2012I have to create an application that will dynamically add a menu strip with menu items to a form(ie NOT dragged and dropped onto the form) in Visual Basic. The menu strip should be created in the Form_Load event handler. I have to use a TextBox for user input. If the user enters information into the TextBox and clicks on the Add Button, the text should be added to a ComboBox control.A Menu should then be created that must be added to the menu strip dynamically.

View 4 RepliesMenu Strip Has Disappeared But The Menu Items Are Still Showing In Properties List?
Oct 6, 2011I have combed these forums and the 'net and can't find an answer to my specific problem. My menu strip disappeared (after deleting a small secondary form within my project). I therefore created a new strip and while recreating the menu items realized that the original menu items are still present, showing in my properties list. I have checked my design file as well and the original menu strip is definitely gone but the original menu items are there. I don't have many items so I would have no problem just deleting the original ones but I can't see them to delete them! I have checked and they are all set to visible. I have also moved everything on my form to see if it is behind anything else.
