Introduction

I wrote an article before to create Array of PictureBox controls You can find it here:

PictureBox_Array.asp

Now I write another article to create Array of Button controls, Label controls and TextBox controls.

Background

My article has one Form (frmCotrol), This form has following comtrols:

Panel control (pnlButtons) to hold array of Buttons,

Panel control (pnlLabels) to hold array of Labels,

Panel control (pnlTextBox) to hold array of TextBoxs,

Button control (btnAddButton) to add array of Buttons,

Button control (btnRemoveButton) to remove a Button,

Button control (btnAddLabel) to add array of Labels,

Button control (btnRemoveLabel) to remove a Label,

Button control (btnAddText) to add array of TextBoxs,

Button control (btnRemoveText) to remove a TextBox,

Button control (btnExit) to exit application.

Using the code

I wrote one function to create Array of Buttons, Labels, TextBoxs at once:

//

// 'anyControl' is type of control, 'cNumber' is number of control

//

private void AddControls( string anyControl, int cNumber)

{

switch (anyControl)

{

case "btn": // anyControl = btn to Add Button

{

// assign number of controls

btnArray = new System.Windows.Forms.Button[cNumber + 1];

for (int i = 0; i < cNumber + 1; i++)

{

// Initialize one variable

btnArray[i] = new System.Windows.Forms.Button();

}

break;

}

case "lbl": // anyControl = lbl to Add Label

{

// assign number of controls

lblArray = new System.Windows.Forms.Label[cNumber + 1];

for (int i = 0; i < cNumber + 1; i++)

{

// Initialize one variable

lblArray[i] = new System.Windows.Forms.Label();

}

break;

}

case "txt": // anyControl = txt to Add TextBox

{

// assign number of controls

txtArray = new System.Windows.Forms.TextBox[cNumber + 1];

for (int i = 0; i < cNumber + 1; i++)

{

// Initialize one variable

txtArray[i] = new System.Windows.Forms.TextBox();

}

break;

}

}

}
