Stopwatch - Selecting The Most Recently Dynamically Created Object With .NET?
Feb 3, 2012
Below is some code that I'm using to create objects with Visual Basic:
For indexCounter As Integer = 1 To TotalParticipants Step 1
participantClock = New Label
participantClock.Size = New Size(100, 20)
participantClock.Name = "participantClock" & indexCounter
[code]....
I'm creating a label, a button, Timer, and Stopwatch. (Though I have sinking feeling I don't need BOTH a timer and stopwatch since I'm counting time.)What I would like to do, is create the label and set that label's text to be the value from the stopwatch. The button that will be created will stop THAT stopwatch.
The problem that I'm having is that I cannot call the stopwatch by name since it wasn't created yet and VB throws a hissy fit at me for it. (After all it wasn't really declared.)So the question becomes, how do you call the most recently dynamically created control and assign events using that control. If it's not possible to do, I do not mind dumping the form and starting over creating 30 stopwatches instead (but I'd like to avoid that, if possible).
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 adding a grid of buttons to a form at run-time, and all of then use the same Handler.My question is : Is there any way I canadd the TextBox at run-time ?I know how to but without it on the form, the IDE isn't very happy about the "MyClick" Sub - TextBox1 is not declared......
' some logic here to make nice rows and Columns of buttons ' with different .Text and .Name Me.Controls.Add(btn)
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 a Private Sub that I execute whenever a user clicks one of two or three things, and in it I create a new tab in my TabControl. Once the new tab has been created, I select it then add a formatted textbox to it. However, it is not selecting the new tab and therefore only adding the rich text box into the already selected tab (not displayed, of course, because it has a dock style of Fill.) Here iis my code to select the new tab and format / edit the rich text box:
Try tabMain.SelectedTab = tabMain.TabPages.Item(intTabIndex) 'Select the new tab AddHandler rtbCode.TextChanged, AddressOf DisplayUpdate 'Add TextChanged event to handle updates
Is it possible to select a value of a drop down by its dynamic index that is returning from another function whereas selectindex = 2 (generated dynamically)
user control, I'm dynamically creating an arrary of several labels within a groupbox on the controls form. This is done in the load event.The user control is then placed on the form of mainapplication and then run. My problem being that the labels are invisiblen I launch the app. The visible property for the labels is set to true during the creation of the controls.
I have the following code:[code]ok, now in another part of my code (another method) i want to get this update panel and work on it. I want something like: [code]
I hope the question makes sense, anyways. I'm looking to know if in VB.NET, when we call an object's constructor, is there some kind of a reference that points back to the caller? I'm interested because of a corner case where I want the object being created to first be able to validate the existence of some data in the caller before it allows itself to be created. If this validation fails, I plan on throwing an exception. This corner case will never happen at runtime unless the object being created is used improperly by a programmer. The object being created is not inheriting the object I want it to validate, so I can't do anything with the MyBase qualifier.
It's bit of a "future-proofing" issue that I have a (bad) habit of doing. Not critical -- I can always leave stern comments behind as a last resort. Wanted to know if this was possible.
I have a class library that contains a number of classes. I would like to dynamically create an instance of one of these classes, set its properties, and call a method.
Example:
Public Interface IExample Sub DoSomething() End Interface Public Class ExampleClass
i want to retrive the textvalue of checkbox whose checked property is true and respective textbox at a buttonclick event. Problem is in finding the controls and their textvalue. any one can help?Thanks in Advance.dt1 is datatable .For window form application.
I have created two dynamic objects in my project; one being a button and the other a listview. I have added addHandlers to the button so that I can print out information from the listview. The problem is I don't know how to access the listview through the button_click Sub.[code]...
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()
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?
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.
This dynamically created content is mostly dropdownlist boxes in the format of
<form method=post action="/questions/nextBatch"> <div id="text">What is your preferred drink?</div> <select>
[Code]....
Is it is possible to perform validation on the dropdowns lists to ensure that a value has been selected? If any of the dropdownlists that still have the default value (the "please make a selection" text) the page is then redisplayed with the font colour of the question or dropdownlist box changed to say red?
I'm from the Webforms world and have made the switch over to MVC (which I really like!) and I know there are some pretty slick validation tools out there but you seem to have to account for them within the view itself.
I cannot pass a HTML helper through the viewdata of the controller as it does not render unless it has been coded directly into the view itself.
Also, I'm looking for a pure asp.net solution as I cannot use javascript due to accessiblity concerns. I can access all the values of the dropdowns without any problems throug the formscollection object but from there I'm a bit stuck.
Now from Serverside code I have added 3 rows dynamically.. when ever page gets Postback.. all dynamically added rows get disappear.How can i get the dynamically added rows after postback??
I have a form which when button1 is pressed creates and displays a new form. From this form a user has the choice yes or no buttons. Each button has its own handler and script it executes. If yes is clicked i want to run the script and then close both forms. I used me.close() and that only closes the orriginal form and leaves the dynamically created on open. If I place a call to form2.close() in the yes handler sub I get an error that it is not declared. How can i close this second form?
I am dynamically creating 12 picture boxes then click next and dynamically create the next 12 (in place of the first 12)
From what I can tell it is creating the next 12 I just can't see them. Do I first have to dispose of the original 12 first? if so how do I go about disposing of them?

I'm creating a series of labels at run time based on an array of strings made earlier in the program, but when i run, the labels aren't showing. The program is form based and the co-ordinates for the new labels are well within the bounds of the formHere's the code I'm using:
I have a strange behavior with a dynamically created TextBox-Control. The control is created in the handler of the Load-event of a dialog-form like this:
[Code]...
Now the situation is, that in most cases it works fine. But a few of my customers report that the TextBox not appears on their dialog - it's not there! That's all, nothing more to say.hints or reports about known pitfalls with dynamically created controls which could explain this (sometimes) strange behavior and how I could fix it (I have to create this control dynamically due to some reasons).
BTW: The program is built with Visual Basic 2005. And the customers with trouble are spread about the OS's (XP, Vista, 7).
I have made an click event for a button which creates buttons dynamically and I added events to the dynamic buttons by using addhandler but it says it the button is not declared. Here is the code for dynamic buttons:
Private Sub MenuBtnNew_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MenuBtnNew.Click
i been trying to figure out how to get the control name and other properties of a dynamically created control. I have actually dynamically created a label andnamed it. how do i retrieve its name and other properties.?
