[RESOLVED] Button Control Properties

[dreamdelerium]

hey everyone. in vb.net (express edition) im trying to change multiple button properties at the same time. if i want to change the button width, this works

        For i = 1 To 42
            With Calendar.Panel1.Controls("Button" & i)
                .width= 12
            End With
        Next

but if i want to change the button border, this wont work:

        For i = 1 To 42
            With Calendar.Panel1.Controls("Button" & i).FlatAppearance
                .bordersize = 12
            End With
        Next

whats the difference and how do i get it working?

thanks
jason

Is your button FlatStyle set to Flat? The default is Standard, in which case setting the FlatAppearance border has no effect.

you need to cast it as a button:

For i = 1 To 42
     With directcast(Calendar.Panel1.Controls("Button" & i), Button).FlatAppearance
         .bordersize = 12
     End With
Next
