Creating new Picture Box

HI there, ill explain my problem in the following exple:

for i=1 to 10

' i need to create a picturebox(i) that are visible on the current form

loop


what i did is the following:

Friend WithEvents PictureBox2 As System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox
Me.PictureBox2 = New System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox()
Me.PictureBox2.BackColor = System.Drawing.SystemColors.Desktop
Me.PictureBox2.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(85, 124)
Me.PictureBox2.Name = "PictureBox2"
Me.PictureBox2.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(40, 40)

and i added it to the PUBLIC SUB NEW()
but for some reasons, i dont get any errors but picturebox2 is not showing (not visible), pleaz guys i cld really need your help.

thank you ...

You left this one out : It add your control to the form control collection : It should be the last line of your code .

VB Code:

Me.Controls.Add(PictureBox2)

Thank you Pirate for yr reply, but the new problem im facing is that i need to define X number of picture box , how can i do that in the form_load? i need to put it in a for loop.

thank you

Here is a demo shows you how to create arrays of picturebox control .

This is more dynamic . You can specify number of pictureboxes along with X & Y Coordinates at runtime.
