Scanning Option Group (VB 6 Option Button Control Array)

[Michael D. Ober]

In VB 6, you can create control arrays for your option groups and scan with
the following code

dim opt as OptionButton
for each opt in OptionGroup
' Do something
next opt

I know VB 2005 doesn't have control arrays, so my question is how do I do
the equivalent in VB 2005?

Thanks,
Mike Ober.

Michael,

The difference is that VB6 has no control arrays in the way as they are in
VBNet.
VB6 has only arrays of controls.

In VBNet has every control a collection (array) of the childcontrols it is
using.

Although you can create in VBNet of course as well arrays of controls very
simple even

Dim myControlArray( ) as Control = {Button1, Button2, Textbox3}

I hope this helps,

When I create the radio group at design time, what steps do I need to do to
be able to loop through the group?

Michael,

Depends if it is a radiogroup in a groupbox than you can just do

for each ctr as control in mygroupbox
dim rdb as radiobutton = directcast(ctr, radiobutton)
rdb.blabla
'assuming that there are only radiobuttons otherwise
If typeof ctr Is Radiobutton then
etc.
next

Or code like that.

Michael,

Have a look at this page as well. Because that a control can be in a control
do you have to evaluate that inside it, this is easy code to do that.

Any idea what the reasoning was behind that decision?

In VB6 I used to have an array of Buttons and only had to have one
Event Handler with a Select Case statement. Now I have to have ten
different Even Handlers and duplicate a lot of code. Doesn't make
much sense to me unless I'm missing some easier way to do things.

You can add multiple controls to the handler clause on the event handler.
Then you can use a case statement to determine which control triggered the
event.

How would I do this in VB2005?

X = RandomNumber

For Y = 0 to X
Label(Y).BackCo lor = vbGray
Next Y
Now I have Label1, Label2, Label3, etc.

Kevin,

\\\
Dim ctr() As Control = {TextBox1, Button1, label1}
For Each ctrind As Control In ctr
ctrind.BackColo r = Color.Black
Next
///

You find your old method now probably nicer, by most of us did that change.

There are much more methods to identify them by the way even at design time.
