Positioning Dynamically added controls

Hi

I am adding a textbox control at runtime that allows a user to enter a date.
I also want to add a calendar icon beside the textbox so that the user can
click on the calendar icon and have it populate the textbox if they choose.
(We all have seen this in sites such as expedia or something like that).

I have a placeholder that will hold the textbox and I want to add the
calendar to the SAME placeholder. I am able to add it to the same
placeholder but it adds it below the textbox. Instead, I want to position
the calendar beside (to the right) of the textbox.

Here is what I have so far in VB.NET

dim tb as new textbox
dim ctl2 as new control()
Form1.Controls. Item(k).Control s.AddAt(0, tb)

Form1.Controls. Item(k).Control s.AddAt(1, ctl2)

Anyone know of how i can position the second control beside the first?

Thanks

Harry

Question is related to ASP.Net and controlling the position of these controls. I am using html table to placce my web controls. I am displaying same datagrid and calendar controls at clicks of different buttons. Since I am using same control for various clicks, it is hard for me to place the controls at runtime for my required position. Any suggestions of doing this will be a great help. Johnson Smith

Hi I would like to add controls to my page at runtime. What containers can I use to host the controls? I know I can add them to the form controls collection, but I need to have control on where they are placed. For example I would like a page header and footer, menu on the left, text on the right and an area in the middle where I can add the controls, with the area sizing dynamically. Hope you can suggest some options.

Hello, I have a page with a RadioButtonList and a PlaceHolder control. The RadioButtonList's AutoPostBack attribute is set to TRUE and its SelectedIndexChanged event loads one of three UserControls into the PlaceHolder's child control collection depending upon which of the three radio buttons is selected. Each of the three UserControls have postback events themselves triggered by button clicks. The problem I'm having is keeping track of...

I have a page with mixture of static and dynamically added controls is there any way of controlling the order which they are added to the page. My submit button (statically added) appears before some textboxes (dynamically added). I know I could move it around with CSS but I want to move towards an accessible site that will display forms in the right order without CSS. Regards, Chris.

I have a custom control that I wrote (I inherit from System.Web.UI.WebControls.CompositeControl). I dynamically add this control to my Page, but I was told that dynamically added controls do not survive postback. This seems to be true. However, this seems to make dynamically adding controls rather pointless to me, since if you cannot retrieve the values of the controls when you perform a postback, why add the controls in the firstplace?...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.
