Dynamically created checkboxes within a panel - how do i get the value?I have created some checkboxes within a panel using the code below
Dim NewCheckbox As New CheckBox Me.Panel2.Controls.Add(NewCheckbox) NewCheckbox.Location = New Point(XLocation, YLocation) NewCheckbox.AutoSize = True NewCheckbox.Text = DS1.Tables(0).Rows(counter1)(0) NewCheckbox.Name = "Checkbox" & counter1 + 1 the problem I have is how do i access the value of that checkbox? (usually it would be just checkbox1.checked, but obvioulsy this does not work) Thanks Mike Fellows use a for loop
and before this name ur controls prperly.

and atleast attempt to spell correctly the checkbox names i gave where an example and the for loop is fairly obvious, but again that was not my question! <asad.na***@gmail.com> wrote in message Show quoteHide quote news:1152792596.747009.188770@m79g2000cwm.googlegroups.com... > > use a for loop > and before this name ur controls prperly. > Asad > > Mike Fellows wrote: >> I have created some checkboxes within a panel using the code below >> >> >> Dim NewCheckbox As New CheckBox >> Me.Panel2.Controls.Add(NewCheckbox) >> NewCheckbox.Location = New Point(XLocation, YLocation) >> NewCheckbox.AutoSize = True >> NewCheckbox.Text = DS1.Tables(0).Rows(counter1)(0) >> NewCheckbox.Name = "Checkbox" & counter1 + 1 >> >> the problem I have is how do i access the value of that checkbox? >> (usually >> it would be just checkbox1.checked, but obvioulsy this does not work) >> >> Thanks >> >> Mike Fellows > Hi Mike,
Are the checkboxes the only controls in the panel? If so, then the panels control collection would be 1-1 wth the checkboxes. ie CheckBox0 <=> Me.Panel2.Controls(0). If not, why not keep a seperate collection of references to the checkboxes you add and reference the correct one via the index of the collection. -- Show quoteHide quoteTerry "Mike Fellows" wrote: > maybe you should read before posting > > and atleast attempt to spell correctly > > the checkbox names i gave where an example > > and the for loop is fairly obvious, but again that was not my question! > > > > > <asad.na***@gmail.com> wrote in message > news:1152792596.747009.188770@m79g2000cwm.googlegroups.com... > > > > use a for loop > > and before this name ur controls prperly. > > Asad > > > > Mike Fellows wrote: > >> I have created some checkboxes within a panel using the code below > >> > >> > >> Dim NewCheckbox As New CheckBox > >> Me.Panel2.Controls.Add(NewCheckbox) > >> NewCheckbox.Location = New Point(XLocation, YLocation) > >> NewCheckbox.AutoSize = True > >> NewCheckbox.Text = DS1.Tables(0).Rows(counter1)(0) > >> NewCheckbox.Name = "Checkbox" & counter1 + 1 > >> > >> the problem I have is how do i access the value of that checkbox? > >> (usually > >> it would be just checkbox1.checked, but obvioulsy this does not work) > >> > >> Thanks > >> > >> Mike Fellows > > > > > I think you are confusing the name of the checkbox and the reference to
the checkbox, you cannot just use the name of the checkbox to access it's members as you suggest. Instead, you need the reference to the checkbox. So Asad was basically correct. Dim cbx As checkbox 'Get a reference to the cbx named checkbox1 within panel1 For c as control in panel1.controls If typeof(c) is checkbox then cbx = c If cbx.Name = "checkbox1" then Exit For Else cbx = Nothing End If End If Next If Not cbx Is Nothing Then If cbx.Checked then 'checkbox named checkbox1 is checked so do whatever here.
