Duplicate Picture Boxes on Form through code in run-time...

[eydelber]

Hello everyone,
I am in the process of designing a way to play the Star Wars Customizable Card Game over the internet. But that is irrelevant. Basically, if anyone can help, I would like to know how to duplicate a picture box on a form through code in run-time, because I need to do this during certain points in the game, and the deck sizes can be different, so I need to variably create these cards during run-time. Do I have to somehow create a Class for a PictureBox. I have no clue, and if anyone at all can help me I would extremely appreciate it. Thanks for reading this.

The picture box has to be part of a control array (set the Index property to 0).
Now you can load a new picture box.

Public Sub AddPicture()
    Dim iUbound%
    'this code assumes your picture box is called Picture1
    iUbound = Picture1.UBound + 1
    Load Picture1(iUBound)
    With Picture1(iUBound)
        'change the newLeft and newTop
        'to correct values
        .Move newLeft, newTop
        .Visible = True
    End With
End Sub

Good luck!

put the first picturebox on your form as an array
(set the index property to 0)

then create the new pictures with

Load Picture1(num)

num starts with 1
