Using a Label within a class

[Kpop4life]

Hi, what I'm trying to do here is allow the user on the actual form to enter the number of 'Count' (that's what the class is called) to be made. It receives a value for the variable 'Name', then allots it to Labelx.Text. Then, I would like Labelx to appear on the actual form, but it does not. Can anyone tell me why? This code should actually be pretty simple for experience programmers, but unfortunately I am not. Please excuse the redundancy of my code, for I can clear that up later.
Public Class Count

' Option Explicit On - needed?

Dim Name As Integer
Dim Number As Integer
Dim IsBeat As Boolean

Public Sub Set_Number(ByVal Number As Integer)
Number = Number
Name = CStr(Number)
End Sub

Public Function Get_Number()
Dim Labelx As New Label
Labelx.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(50, 50) ' Is this needed?
Labelx.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(100, 100) ' Is this needed?
Labelx.Text = Name
Labelx.Visible = True
End Function

End Class


Best regards,
Ben.

Hi

add this code at the end of Get_Number()

Me.Controls.Add(Labelx)

Hope this helps...

Won't work as you have it...try this

'on a form
 Dim myCount As New Count
 Me.Controls.Add(myCount.Get_Number())
 
 
'class
Public Function Get_Number() As Label
        Dim Labelx As New Label
        Labelx.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(50, 50) ' Is this needed?
        Labelx.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(100, 100) ' Is this needed?
        Labelx.Text = Name
        Labelx.Visible = True
        Return Labelx
    End Function
