[RESOLVED] Duplicate Control

[MacShand]

Hi all

Wondering if there is a way I can duplicate controls and have them work properly?

basically, i have a datagridview with code in it plus buttons that do various things to it etc etc

ideally, i'd like to be able to have two of these datagridviews on show

So, user presses button, second datagridview shows.

Note that I don't want them to both display the same data - they should both be independetly editable..

Cheers!

Why not just create the second datagridview and on form load set:

DataGridView2.Visible = False

When the user presses the button:

DataGridView2.Visible = True

Thanks for the reply! . If I were to simply copy and paste the dgv would that create any issues with the code within it? For example I have some code which works depending on the state of the checkbox column etc. would it simply be a case of changing the code to DataGridView 2 instea of DatagridView 1?

Thanks for your help!

If you copy the control it will rename itself to DataGridView2 and so all the code for DataGridView1 won't apply to it.

Yes you can just copy the code too, changing each bit to DataGridView2.
