[RESOLVED] PictureBoxs loaded at runtime not showing up

[Tontow]

Code runs without erros, but the images aren't displaying. The first control in the array is visable.

Am I missing something or doing anything wrong????

For i = 1 To UBound(DisplayTree())
    Load Form1.Img1(i)
    With Form1.Img1(i)
        .Picture = LoadPicture(App.Path & "\bmps\" & DisplayTree(i).Icon & ".bmp")
        .Top = DisplayTree(i).OffSetA * 500
        .Left = DisplayTree(i).OffSetB * 3000
        .Width = 2655
        .Height = 975
    End With
Next i

What is DisplayTree(i).Icon ??? What value does it have when code is executed?
Also highlighted numbers

.Top = DisplayTree(i).OffSetA * 500
.Left = DisplayTree(i).OffSetB * 3000

look like too large to me...

You need to add .Visible = True

[Tontow]

The problem code is in the module: drawingclass .
And the numbers in bold are actually too small at the moment.

DisplayTree is the following user type

Type MasterObject
    Builder_name As String 'name of the builder that builds the object,
                            'add to description
    Local_Tech As String  'What can be deployed from this station - con.s or ships
                            'add to discription
    Abilities_Text As String 'Abilities, plain and simple. like smallrip, repair
                                'add to description
    Loadout As String       'add to description
    
    Description As String   'enough said
    
    Def As String           'turns required numbers on
    
    Pre As String           'defines what Def(s) are needed
    
    base_tech As String     'Normal starting tech Def bits
    
    no_dev_tech As String   'Abnormal starting tech Def bits for use with death match and other modes
    
    Id As String            'cheack to see if there are doubles, if there are it could cause problems
    
    Next_Id As String       'what the object upgreads to, carful if there are doubles of Id
    
    Group_Id As Integer     'group all objects on tabs according to this
    
    Icon As String          'use this image, is actually the entry modle in the .cvs files with an i in front
    
    nName As String         'enough said
    
    station As String       'starting station
    
    filetype As String      'which file the intry was read from
    
    OffSetA As String      'see OffSetB; Left in top to down mode and Top
                            'for left to right
    
    OffSetB As String      'the number of steaps on the logest route from each
                            'tech to base to determine the Y
                            'position (tier might be a better word) of a
                            'given tech.  This number will be used to determin
                            'Top (y position, in top to bottom mode) or
                            'Left (x position, in left to right mode) by
                            'number times offset (which can be set by the
                            'user for custability)
                            'NOTE!!!!: Currently the shortest route to a given tech, Longest route too for me to figure out and it may workout in the end this way
                            
    
End Type

Heres the whole project, but the .bmps are 6 mb

By default a control that is Loaded at runtime is not visible so you have to set .Visible to True.

[Tontow]

You need to add .Visible = True

That worked.

I guess controls don't inherit all the properties of the previous control.

[ganeshmoorthy]

Yes, you are right. properties like Visible, Top, Left will not be inherited...

[MartinLiss]

Yes, you are right. properties like Visible, Top, Left will not be inherited...

No, actually Top and Left are inherited and unless you change them like Tontow did the Loaded control will be placed directly on top of the original one.

[ganeshmoorthy]

Oh, I see. Thanks...
