How do I change this :

this.pictureBox1 = new System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox();
this.pictureBox2 = new System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox();
this.pictureBox3 = new System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox();
this.pictureBox4 = new System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox();
this.pictureBox5 = new System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox();

To This:

for (int i = 1; i < 6; i++)
{
this.pictureBox+(i) = new System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox();
}

Do i need to put it into an array or something? Thanks for any help ...

Hi,

An array would be the way to go:

/// At the top somewhere
private PictureBox[] pictureBox = new PictureBox[6];
///

/// In your code somewhere
for ( int i = 0; i < pictureBox.Length; i++ )
this.pictureBox[i] = new PictureBox();
///

Note that arrays are zero-based.

Google first, ask later.

Hi,
you are right, just put your picture boxes in an array:

const int numberOfPictureBoxes = 5;
PictureBox[] pictureBoxes = new PictureBox[numberOfPictureBoxes];
for(int i=0; i<numberOfPictureBoxes; ++i)
{
pictureBoxes[i] = new PictureBox();
}

HTH
Mark.

That got me on the right track.

/// I put this in the class
private System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox[] pictureBox;

///i put this in the funciton
pictureBox = new System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox[10];

for ( int i = 0; i < pictureBox.Length; i++ )
{
this.pictureBox[i] = new
System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox();

((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.p ictureBox[i])).BeginInit();
}
Works perfect,,, Thanks !
