How to create indexed controls? [Resolved]

[Norkis]

hey,

I want to create programaticly 100 of checkboxes with names like checkbox(from 1 to 100). Then I should be able to check which one is checked or not. Is is possible to make? In VB 6 it was easy.

Thanks.

Hi,

As you have probably noticed, there is no Index propertyin any of the controls and this is because Collections has replaced them in VB.NET

Have a look at the MSDN help on Collections.

Although more difficult to create, Collections offers a more efficient way than Indexes and is great - once you get used to it.

halu,

i'm a newbie though. but check this out... this might help... if not please let me know...

Friend WithEvents b As New Button()
    Dim c(9) As CheckBox
    Dim WithEvents cc As New CheckBox()
 
    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim i As Integer
        Dim l As Integer = 16
        For i = 0 To 9
            cc = New CheckBox()
            c(i) = cc
            c(i).TabIndex = i
            c(i).Name = i.ToString
            c(i).Text = i.ToString
            c(i).Location = New Point(24, l)
            l += 25
            Controls.AddRange(New Control() {c(i)})
        Next
        b.Location = New Point(24, l)
        Controls.AddRange(New Control() {b})
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub b_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles b.Click
        Dim c As CheckBox
        Dim s As String = String.Empty
        For Each c In Me.c
            If c.Checked = True Then
                s += c.Name
            End If
        Next
        MsgBox(s)
    End Sub
