Breaking from ListArray [C# WindowForms]

[MikeY]

Hiya Everyone,

Hopefully someone can help.

I've created a ListArray and I am putting my data into custom buttons. The
background is this, The amount of data in the ListArray will very. The max
amount of buttons I will have is 15. If there is more than 15 items in the
ListArray then the 15th button will be a more button to cycle through and
display more items from the ListArray.

What I will need to do is break out of my function if there is "MORE" button
being displayed, and to check what the user button click/press is going to
be. If the user clicks on the "MORE" button then I need to continue with the
"foreach loop" of my ListArray, clear the controls and add a new amount of
buttons with more data from the ListArray, if not I will use the existing
button information for my application.

At this point I am unsure of the best syntax to be using for this. Any and
all help is appreciated. My Code is as follows:

private void Get_ArrayList()
{
ArrayList_Load_Data myArrayList_Load_Data = new ArrayList_Load_Data();
myArrayList = myArrayList_Load_Data.Test;

//*****If There Is Not Data Present
if(myArrayList.Count == 0)
{
MessageBox.Show("You have no Data");

while(btnCounter <= MaxButtonCount)
{
if(btnCounterTotal <= MaxColumnCount)
{
btnName = "";
btnText = "";
btnTabIndex = 0;
btnColor = System.Drawing.Color.Gray;

AddControl(new Button(), new Point(ColumnPlacement,RowPlacement), new
Size(100,50), btnName, btnText, btnTabIndex, btnColor);

ColumnPlacement = ColumnPlacement + 105;
btnCounter = btnCounter + 1;
btnCounterTotal = btnCounterTotal + 1;
}
else
{
btnName = "";
btnText = "";
btnTabIndex = 0;
btnColor = System.Drawing.Color.Gray;

RowPlacement = RowPlacement + 55;
ColumnPlacement = 0;

AddControl(new Button(), new Point(ColumnPlacement,RowPlacement), new
Size(100,50), btnName, btnText, btnTabIndex, btnColor);

ColumnPlacement = ColumnPlacement + 105;
btnCounterTotal = 2;
btnCounter = btnCounter + 1;
}
}
}
//*****If There Is Data Present. Display Data
else
{
foreach(DataItem myItem in myArrayList)
{
if(myItem.Index == btnCounterTotal)
{
btnName = "btn" + myItem.Name;
btnText = myItem.Name;
btnTabIndex = myItem.Index;
btnColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromName(myItem.Color);
Load_Default_Button();

myBlankCounter += 1;
}
else
{

{
btnName = "";
