Dynamic Labels [RESOLVED]

I have searched this forum for hours for an answer to this question. There are many posts that are related to this but not exactly what i need to know...
What i am trying to do is after making labels dynamically how can i change the caption/text of each label indipendently from a button? The name of the dynamic labels is always changing and that info is retrieved from an xml file that can be changed so nothing can be static except for the button that initializes that label.text change...


here is the code i used to create the dynamic labels.

Code:

---

        Dim lbl As New Label
        Me.Controls.Add(lbl)
        With lbl
            .Name = ChangingVariable
            .Parent = Me.Image1
            .BackColor = Color.Transparent
            .BringToFront()
            .Top = 0
            .Left = 0
            .Width = 25
            .Height = 55
        End With

Loop through the form's Control collection, until you find the one that you want, then you can re-set its caption.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. Can you please give me an example?

roughly speaking, like this:

Code:

---

for each ctl as control in yourform.Controls
  If ctl.NAme = "Some control's name" Then
      ctl.caption = "Set your new caption
  end
next

next

Thanks.... That doesnt work but i figured it out....

Code:

---

For Each ControlShowing In Image1.Controls
            On Error Resume Next
            If TypeOf ControlShowing Is Label Then
                If ControlShowing.Name = "VolShow" Then
                    ' DO NOTHING
                    ControlShowing.Text = "YES"
                Else
                    ControlShowing.Text = " NO"
                End If
            End If
        Next ControlShowing

Good... it wasn't supposed to work. It was supposed to show the basics of ripping through the controls.

There's a problem with your code by they way....

Whats wrong with it? Its working....

1. Turn Option Strict ON. It's not just helping your program run faster but also helping your write better code.
2. Do not use On Error Resume Next. Use Try/Catch block instead. But generally, you should avoid exceptions as much as you can.
