dynamic pictureBox creation

sarah_malik

Hi all, I have a form that contains one button and one textbox, the textbox will take a number that will be passed to another form. I have done this successfully. The thing is that I need the second form to create a number of pictureboxes = the number received from the first form. Any ideas?

If you are dealing with VB.Net the sample approach can give so some insight how to do that. But you should consider defining location, size, back color information for a specific picturebox which you get it from an array. The sample will rename the each picturebox automatically. :wtf:

Dim GetNumber as New Int32 = PutHereHowManyYouWant
Dim I as Int32


For I = 1 to GetNumber

    Dim NewPicBox as New PictureBox

    NewPicBox.Name = "NewPicBox_" + I.toString
    NewPicBox.Size = New Size (PWidth(I), PHeight(I))
    NewPicBox.Location = New Point (PX(I), PY(I))
    NewPicBox.BackColor = color.From.ArgB(P1(I),P2(I),P3(I))

    Me.Controls.Add(NewPicBox)

    'Here you should create an addhandler and out eventhandler procedure
    to control each picture box.

What a curious mind needs to discover knowledge is noting else than a pin-hole.
