PictureBox
-
Hello, I am programming in VB2005. I have a Form1 and Class A: a) In Form1, I have a Picturebox (Name=PictureBox1) b) Class A inherits from PictureBox I am trying the following but the Picturebox1 does not display anything: Dim MyA As New A(PictureBox1.Width, PictureBox1.Height) MyA.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(150, 150) MyA.BackColor = Color.Red PictureBox1 = MyA Why doesn't it works? I have an alternative to solve the problem but I would like to understood the problem above. Alternative sdolution: Dim MyA As New A(500, 350) MyA.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(150, 150) MyA.BackColor = Color.Red controls.add(MyA)

Why don't you use real variable names ?

This is a bit dumb. What you need to do, is either change your picturebox to be a ClassA, or you need to just create a picturebox and add it to the Controls collection of the form.

Start by highlighting the differences between the first and the second code. What does
controls.Adddo?I are Troll :suss:
In the first code PictureBox alrady exists so I do not have to add it. In the second code PictureBox doesn't exist so I am adding it at run-time. So what now?

My ClassA inherits from PictureBox object. Now my form1 is creating a new instance of class A and this new instance will "return" a PictureBox that I would like to display on my form1. So I though to do the following form1.PictureBox1=NewInstanceOfClassA to display the result of new instance of ClassA to my form1.
...or you need to just create a picturebox and add it to the Controls collection of the form.
WHay to add it if already exists in my form1, I only want to overwrite it with my new instance of class A Thank you

PictureBox1 = MyA
This would not 'replace' the PictureBox1 in memory with an MyA, and I don't know whether the property is smart enough to add the control to the controls-collection on it's own.

Thank you, so you suggest to use controls.add, don't you

That's not what I'm suggesting; you asked merely why the first version didn't work as you expected it to. I guess that you want to replace that
pictureBox1with aClassA. Delete the PictureBox from the Form and drop a ClassA on it :)I are Troll :suss:
What do you mean when you say drop?

I meant dragging a ClassA-item from your Toolbox to the Form; just like you add any other control to the form :)

Thank you for the tip
