textbox question

Hi all,

I would like to create some textbox by coding...such as ..I would like
to create 10 textbox during form load. Is it use for loop to do ? ...on the
other hand, is vb.net can do as the following..

dim str as string
dim tmp as string
dim x a sinteger
str = "textbox"
for x = 1 to 10
tmp = str + cstr(x)
' and then assign value in tmp '
next x

Thanks

Edmond,

This is simple

dim textboxes(9) as textbox
for x as integer = 0 to 9
dim mytexbox as new textbox
mytextbox.top = 'etc
mytextbox.name = mytextboxname, x.tostring
textboxes(x) = mytextbox 'to get the values when typed in back
controls.add(mytextbox)
next

I hope this helps,

Cor

And a shorter way:

Dim textBoxes(9) As TextBox

For x As Integer = 0 To 9
textBoxes(x) = New TextBox()
textBoxes(x).Top = y
textBoxes(x).Name = myTextBoxName, x.ToString() ' comma a tab? Can't
remember.
controls.Add(textBoxes(x))
Next

w00t shorter by 1 whole line!!!! :P

hth ;)

Mythran,

I did want to show it in its shortest way without the array. However when I
did not showed the array than it would (be when there was not databinding in
the sample) imposible to get the or set the values. Therefore I added it at
the last moment and was to lazy to do it real in the best way.

However

Dim textBoxes(9) As TextBox
For x As Integer = 0 To textBoxes.count -1
textBoxes(x) = New TextBox()
textBoxes(x).Top = y
controls.Add(textBoxes(x))
Next

The name is in my opinion not real needed when it is in an array.

Cor,

I was simply showing a shorter way, using your example as a base, and
throwing in some sarcastism about myself :P Wasn't meant to be taken that
your way was too long, just showing that it "can" be shortened...I didn't
want to be too anal retentive and do it all on one line, but at the same
time, rid it of some unnecessary additional code just for kicks. Either way
will work, and I have written code often enough using a variable that really
wasn't necessary for all practical purposes :)

But in any sense, sorry that I didn't make myself clear enough about why I
posted the shorter version. It wasn't to tickle anybody's fancy (darn),
just to broaden the minds of others....like that ever happens with my
posts...

Mythran

thx a lot...

Edmond,

We are really going step by step.
See this sample from me by doing it with buttons in this message

http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...2d00c26d?hl=en
This is about buttons so have a look alone to the addhandler and the event
itself.

I hope this helps a little bit?
