[RESOLVED] [2005] Getting Child controls from a user control CF 2.0

[steve_rm]

Hello,

I have trying to get the controls that are on a user control. The user control has been placed on a tab. I am looping through the tabs getting the controls so I can get the values that have been input in that control.

In .Net 2.0 you can do this:

'Get the user control on this tab
                uc = tp.Controls("QuickIncidentTasks")
                'Get all the details for the controls contained the in user control in the current tab.
                scheduledDate = uc.Controls("dtScheduledDate")

But in the CF it is getting the values is more of a problem. I have trying very hard to do this in CF.

Many thanks for any assistance,

Try
            'All the controls that are on the user control
            Dim taskDetails As New Windows.Forms.TextBox
            Dim completionNotes As New Windows.Forms.TextBox
            Dim users As New ComboBox
            Dim supportType As New ComboBox
            Dim status As New ComboBox
            Dim scheduledDate As New Windows.Forms.DateTimePicker
            Dim scheduledTime As New Windows.Forms.DateTimePicker      
            Dim taskID As Integer = 0
            Dim uc As Control
            Dim rowsAffected As Integer = 0

            'Loop through all the tab and get the user control
            For Each tp As TabPage In Me.tbcTasks.TabPages
                'Get the user control on this tab
                uc = tp.Controls(0) 

                'Get all the details for the controls contained the in user control in the current tab.
               'Trail and error below - so a bit of a mess
                'scheduledDate.Value = CDate(uc.Controls(3).Text)
                'scheduledTime.Value = CDate(uc.Controls(4).Text)

                taskDetails = DirectCast(uc.Controls.Item(4), TextBox)
                taskDetails.Text = uc.Controls(8).ToString()
                completionNotes.Text = uc.Controls(9).Text
                users.Text = uc.Controls(5).ToString()
                supportType.Text = uc.Controls(6).ToString()
                status.Text = uc.Controls(7).ToString()

                'Get the taskID number of the task on the tab
                taskID = CInt(tp.Name)
               
            Next tp

        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox(ex.ToString())
        End Try
