VB6 button1(1).Value = true -> how to do this in c#?

[chuawenching]

Hi there.

 

I was migrating to c# from vb6.. and now i am headache.

 

In vb6, i can store arrays for buttons like:

 

button1(0)

 

button1(1)

 

but i can't do this in c#...

 

and now in vb6 there is:

 

button1(0).Value = true/false

 

how to code that in c#? Any help please?

 

Thanks.

You can create an array of buttons in code, control arrays are not supported in the designer:

Button[] buttons = new Button[2];
buttons[0] = new Button();
buttons[1] = new Button();
buttons[0].Location = new Point(0,0);
buttons[1].Location = new Point(200,200);
this.Controls.AddRange(buttons);

This is just an example, it creates an array of buttons, initializes them and adds to the form.

Oh but that does not really answer my question...

 

can i set

 

button[0].value = true

 

But thanks for the tips...

Yes you can do that with the example I showed you.

[chuawenching]

Nope i try already...

 

i can't find value in button[0]. (the intellisense don't show value)

 

How do you manage to do that?

 

Any help?

 

Thanks.

The button control in .net (at least vb I assume c as well) has no value property. Are you referring to a radiobutton?

[chuawenching]

nono!

 

In vb6 there is .value, that is why i ask here, is there a value for a button in c#. Bcs i can't find one!

 

if there no value property (true/false) for button in c#, any idea how to do it?

 

Thanks.

If I remember correctly, button.value = True in VB6 is in effect calling the click sub for the button or the Button1_Click sub, assuming that the button is named Button1. In .NET (C# as well as VB.NET), this has no equivalent but you can invoke the sub directly via code just like any other procedure.

Oh, you were referring to one property.

I thought you meant overall referring to any value of the button.

[chuawenching]

but you can invoke the sub directly via code just like any other procedure.

 

--> maybe you can explain to me a bit clearer...

 

not really understand what you meant! Can you show me how it can be done in vs.net ?

 

Thanks.

Given button1, you can hook up to its click event via:

 

[C#]

this.button1.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.button1_Click);

[/C#]

 

But you can also directly invoke button1_Click just like any other procedure. From button2_Click, for example, you can do:

 

this.button1_Click(button1, e);

 

But I think I've realized where you're heading. Given a button object, you'd want to know how to invoke its Click delegate w/o knowing exactly the name of the sub. It's interesting but unfortunately, I don't have the answer to that now. Will get back to you when I do but in the meantime, I hope the experts of this forum can help you on your problem, if it's really possible in the first place.
