I want to create 100 buttons in a Form. This is what I just tested.
When you finish the following steps, you will see it is very nice. Enjoy.
Step 1, Create a Form called Form1.
Step 2, Add a TableLayoutPanel called TableLayoutPanel1.
Step 3, Make it 10 X 10 with 10% each.
Step 4, Set its anchor to T, B, L, and R. (It could be in any size in design time)
Step 5, Copy the code to Form1.vb.
Step 6, Run it, and you get it.
Public Class Form1
'Use 0 based array
Private NRow As Integer = 9
Private NCol As Integer = 9
Private BtnArray((NRow + 1) * (NCol + 1) - 1) As Button
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
TableLayoutPanel1.Size = Me.ClientSize
For i As Integer = 0 To BtnArray.Length - 1
BtnArray(i) = New Button()
BtnArray(i).Anchor = AnchorStyles.Top Or AnchorStyles.Bottom Or AnchorStyles.Left Or AnchorStyles.Right
BtnArray(i).Text = CStr(i)
TableLayoutPanel1.Controls.Add(BtnArray(i), i Mod (NCol + 1), i \ (NCol + 1))
AddHandler BtnArray(i).Click, AddressOf ClickHandler
Next
End Sub
Public Sub ClickHandler(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
MsgBox("I am button #" & CType(sender, Button).Text)
End Sub
End Class
Helpful for a current project! Thank you!
You say make it 10x10 with 10% each. This is the first time I am using the TableLayout panel. I am able to determine (faily easily) that "make it 10x10" means set RowCount=10 and ColumnCount=10. However "with 10% each" is not as clear. Perhaps you could spell this out specifically in terms of how this is done. There are a lot of novice programmers who could use some hand holding and sample code should not leave anyone guessing.
Specifically, to set to 10% each means
Click on "..." in the Columns (collection) property. In the Column and Row Styles dialog, select all columns. In the Size Type panel, select "percent" and set to 10.00. To set rows to 10& do the same but in the Rows (collection) property.
