Is it possible to get all the controls of a particular type in a form without using any loop and without iterating all the controls (recursively or not depends upon the design of form).
I have the issue with loop is: there are a lot of controls in my form (more than 500) and it is taking a lot of time in executing the function
I am trying to make it so when I use Me.Controls("Timer1") for example I can access specific commands for a timer such as Stop() Start(), I tried CType() and typed in "Timer" as the type but it says the control type can't be converted to the "Timer" type.

View 2 RepliesI have a slight problem With an enumaration of child controls on a form. The following code will not get but about have the controls that are on the form. The controls show that the count is correct but when it goes through the loop it skips over some of the controls. If you run it through the enumeration two or three times it will get all the controls a few at a time. The solution uses two forms, one that has the controls and the other that labels are made and displayed on. The Tx is just a index to add a number to the label.name and rename the label. So each label is identified seperately. This works for all the the controls that are seen in the for each loop.

View 4 RepliesI have a small piece of code that iterates through the controls collection on a panel (below) Everything works fine until I want to focus on a control that doesn't support the selectall method i.e. a datetimepicker. Is there any way of determining the type of control and not call the selectall method when the type is datetimepicker. All my other controls support it so that's the only one I need to exclude.

i need to do something as the old scholl on vb6, create a control array, i need to put 50 listviews controls and when the form is initialized start asigning properties since i will drag items to each one of those grids, im goin to make a dragdrop event to handle all the 50 controls, dont like the idea of adding handles c1, c2,cn, c50 but whatever, is there soemthing easy to create a routine to change properties and add columns to each one control dinamically?
sample
for x=0 to 50
control(x).property = true or ""

I have a WPF windows project with a base Window, and then a series of user controls which I want to add at runtime based on a string from a file. I'm reading a string say "controlA" and i want to create an instance of the user control with the class name "controlA" and then add it to a base window. I want to have a constructor, but for now I would just like to see it work without.I need to do this: read a string (which is the user control type), create an instance of a user control based on that string, and then add the instance to the current WPF window. I've been playing around with Reflection.Assembly, getType, System.Activator.createInstance, Invokemember, CreateObject, and a few others. I can't seem to get it to work.

I need to get all controls on a form that are of type x, I'm pretty sure I saw that code once in the past that used something like this:
dim ctrls() as Control
ctrls = Me.Controls(GetType(TextBox))
I know I can iterate over all controls getting children using a recursive function, but wondering if there is something more easier or straightforward, maybe:
Dim Ctrls = From ctrl In Me.Controls Where ctrl.GetType Is Textbox
I have a form. And some controls(such as TextBox,ComboBox,etc.) on the form.Now,I want to store the controls' Text into a .txt file(or any other formarts).Then I want to read the text in the .txt file to my controls.
View 10 RepliesInside a form, I would like to display a pdf file which is already available in my resources (template file "untitled"). In this pdf file, I have some fields which get their values from some texboxes in another form. My aim is, when the user triggers the button to call this form, it should insert the values inside the pdf file and display the output pdf inside the form.I have written the code to an extend but could not finish it myself after my many trials... Now here are the two things I cannot manage:I can use a directory to read the template pdf "untitled1.pdf". But my aim is to use the file inside my resources. can save the output file in a directory but this is not I want to do. I want to display the output pdf.

i would like to take a selected aircraft type from a previous form and put it into the form i am working on at the moment, but i want to edit the string so it only has 4 characters.I thought the above line would do it but apparently not. the error is to do with the length.An example:the model in 'the other' combobox is A330-200/-300 and i would like to put A330 into the new combobox cmbType in the above code.
I know how to do it individually but not sure if it's possible to merge into one.

View 4 RepliesHow would you add Dynamic controls to your form, from an array which size may vary depending on how many controls the user has selected and has been retrieved from a database?
View 2 RepliesI have been working on a VB 2005 applications for the past week and now I'm not able to add a control to the form. It's a very basic app with only one form and I can add the control in design mode but it does not appear on the form in run mode and is on the verge of driving me nuts. Pretty new to programming by the way.
View 8 RepliesI have a simple form. In the top left corner I have a numericupdown box. Under that I placed a panel that holds a picturebox. I did that so I could use the panel autoscroll feature if I resize the picturebox to be bigger than the form. To set this up, I set the panel to dock fill. If I do this, it covers up the numericupdown box. The docking on a form is very, very sensitive. How can I make sure I set this up correctly.
btw - If I place the numericupdown box on the panel and I scroll later. The numericupdown box scrolls away also. I am trying to make sure it stays fixed.
Also - I looked to add the numericupdown box to a toolstrip, but the box is not available to be placed on it - This would be my first choice.
Been playing around with this and simply can't get it to work
I've got a form and I've created a button called refresh. The button is meant to do exactly that. What happens is that when the form loads, it checks the database for values. If it finds values, it creates a dynamic edit box related to the value.
I open the form and it paints accordingly and as I expect it. If I delete a value from the database then click the refresh button, it should re-draw the form and paint the background grey. The logic definitely works because I trapped the bit of code and it does hit the part where it's meant to set the background grey.
Now, I'm not sure I'm refreshing the form properly because all I'm doing within this sub is calling the form on load event: formLRQuadrantSchedule_Load(Me, New System.EventArgs)
This seems to work logic wise, just not doing what I want. So, I tried this (amongst several other things):
Dim dynTextBox As New TextBox()
Me.Controls.Add(dynTextBox)
With dynTextBox

Is there a way such that I could reset/clear the values of the controls in my form no matter what type of control they are, can be controls from control suites like Janus and/or ComponentOne?
I am thinking perhaps I could somehow get their base control types?Here is my current implementation but somehow I need to add ElseIf for the other control types.
