Simple Label and TextBox question

Hi, I just want to make sure I'm not missing something obvious.
VB.Net controls like the CheckBox are implemented with a label
attached to it. This is very handy. But the TextBox control has no
implementation with a built-in attached label. You have to separately
layout your TextBox and Label controls on a form. It's not a huge
deal, but it would be handy if each TextBox control was automatically
paired with its Label control.

Is this just the way it is, or am I missing something?

Thanks,
John

It's just the way it is!

Not that the 'label' of the CheckBox control that you are referring to is
actually it's Text property.

The Text property of the TextBox control is used to set and get the actual
text 'inside' the TextBox.

If you really need such functionality then create a composite user control
comprising a Label and TextBox and thn you will be able to implement it
exactly how you want it.

I would suggest, however, that if having to spend a small amount of time
'laying out' your Labels and TextBoxes is your biggest worry then you doing
very well indeed.

No, I just did not want other .Net programmers snickering at my forms
because I was 'doing it the hard way'. 8-)

Hi everyone I recently had the need for StringGrid object same as the one that Delphi has. An object that helps show lists of other objects in a simple grid.

I derived a DataGrid and added to it a DataTable to hold the data. The object itself is handling the synchronization between them, because...
