Usercontrol & Indexing (strange)

[jordan23]

I have a usercontrol that I use that is in a control array. The strange thing is that when I load the usercontrols and put them where they are supposed to be, there is still an instance of the 0 indexed control that is in the same location on the form at design time. I know that it is the same index because the captions are the same. To check and make sure that the right indexes were being used I labeled the usercontrols with their indexes. Can anyone help me?

why is that strange?

[jordan23]

It is strange because it is like I have two controls with index of 0. I can only control one of them. The one at design time just stays there but it is like it creates an instance of it and then I can control it with index of 0. Does that clear it up?

post the code you are using to load the controls

[jordan23]

    TotalControl = 1
    For i = 1 To 100
        Load myControl(i)
        myControl(i).Visible = True
        TotalControl = TotalControl + 1
    Next i

So that will give me a total of 101.

You can save processing power a little:

For i = 1 To 100
        Load myControl(i)
        myControl(i).Visible = True
    Next i
    TotalControl = i

It should return the correct value to i

[kleinma]

myControl.Count will return the total number anytime you need to access this number... so you actually don't even need a seperate variable at all


but this still does not solve your problem i guess... what if you set the visible property to false at design time (since your setting it to true at run time when loading them dynamically) perhaps that will fix it?

Thanks for the suggestion. I do set to false already at design time. I think it is something funky with the usercontrol.
