Hi, I'm trying to discover how to generate controls at runtime...
I've started a small test project, Sadly I don't really know what I'm doing... I wanted an array of controls but have discovered they're not implemented in .NET...
My test program is just trying to place 15 buttons on the form, I'm assuming that once I have the method, other controls will follow in a similar manner.
This code doesn't crash, but neither does it work... I think it's just jumping past 'CreateObject'. There are no errors reported.
Poppa.

Code:
Public Class Form1
Private _button As Object
Private Property CreateObject As Object
Private Property Button(ByVal a As Integer) As Object
Get
Return _button
End Get
Set(ByVal value As Object)
_button = value
End Set
End Property
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Populate()
End Sub
Private Sub Populate() 'Add a block of 15 buttons, in 3 rows of 5.
Dim a, b, c As Integer
For a = 1 To 15
CreateObject = Button(a)
Button(a).height = 50
Button(a).width = 30
Button(a).visible = True
b = (a * 50) - 49
c = 1
While b > 250 'Button location X: 1, 51, 101, 151, 201 and 251
c += 30 'Button location Y: 1, 31 and 61.
b -= 250
End While
Button(a).location = New System.Drawing.Point(b, c)
Next
End Sub
