Adding Controls To Form Through Code

[StreaksAthlete]

i am using this code to add a picturebox to my form and perform a drag drop operation. But when i run the form, nothing shows up.

I need some help, PLEASE.

 

 

Dim i as New Picturebox
Me.Controls.Add(i)
i.Visible = True
i.Image = imgFloor.Image'Another Picture on my form"
i.Left = 10
i.Top = 10

[thenerd]

dim i as picturebox
i = new picturebox 'can someone  tell me what the difference between that and dim i as new picturebox is?
i.visible = true
i.image = imgfloor.image
i.left = 10
i.top = 10
'now you add it
me.controls.add(i)
'<shrug> just in case
me.refresh

 

I think that will do it. You were adding and then changing i's properties. Once you've added, the form has its own copy of i, you can change i all you want, but it won't make a difference.

dim i as picturebox
i = new picturebox 'can someone tell me what the difference between that and dim i as new picturebox is?

isn't

dim i as picturebox = new picturebox

 

 

the equivalent of

 

[indent]

dim i as picturebox i = new picturebox
[/indent]

 

 

 

I don't think you can do

 

dim i as new picturebox

 

in vb.not, can you?

 

[Joe Mamma]

the vb formatting screwd up. it should have read:

 

isn't

dim i as picturebox = new picturebox

 

 

the equivalent of

 

[indent]dim i as picturebox

i = new picturebox

[/indent]

 

 

 

I don't think you can do

 

dim i as new picturebox

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

in vb.not, can you?

Dim i as New PictureBox
