[RESOLVED] re-order control array??

[karim_fone]

hey , guys ....

another control array problem

I have control array of pictures
let's say

pic(0)
pic(1)
pic(2)
pic(3)
pic(4)
pic(5)
pic(6)

user can delete any of those in run-time ... so if he deletes pic(3) then we have :

pic(0)
pic(1)
pic(2)
pic(4)
pic(5)
pic(6)

the problem is that I want these array to re-order itself to become

pic(0)
pic(1)
pic(2)
pic(3)
pic(4)
pic(5)

Am I make sense??? and if I do , Is that possible to make???

thanks in advance

with other controls it easier than a picturebox or image control
you would need add a control to replace the deleted one, then loop through all the controls from the new one, in this case 3 to 5 and copy the all the required properties form the one above probably have to copy top,left,height,width,picture,image,font (all properties), autoredraw, maybe someothers, any that are default from creation should not need changing

so , isn't won't work with picturebox ??

[westconn1]

yes it work for picturebox, just more properties to copy, especially if pictureboxes have different sized pictures or images

thanks for helping , I will try it

Is there a particular reason that you want the numbers to not have any gaps?

If it is just so that you can loop thru them, it doesn't matter about the gaps - just use a For Each loop, eg:

Dim objPic as PictureBox
  For Each objPic In pic
    objPic.Cls
    objPic.Print "hello!"
  Next objPic

ok , here is the thing , I use vsflexgrid for layers , every layer has it's properties , and within : the color
like picture below
ok , I make control array on picturebox , so when user press new layer button , new layer will be added with editable colorful picturebox , the thing is when user delete current layer ... there will be one more picturebox than the already rows I have

I hope I was clear enough

In that case it makes sense.

One minor thing, rather than removing and re-adding, I would recommend that you remove the last picturebox instead, then update the properties as apt for the ones down to the 'removed' one.

that's good call ... I should give it shot , thanks ..
