I want to create 100 buttons in a Form. This is what I just tested.
I do have the images and I want to show you, but I could not attach those very nice pictures. When you finish the following steps, you will be able to see it. 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
Private NRow As Integer = 10
Private NCol As Integer = 10
Private BtnArray(NRow * NCol - 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, i \ NCol)
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
