freddy,

All you have to do is get the char value for "a" or "A" and then loop
from that value to that value plus 25. For each iteration of the loop,
create a button, and label it with the current loop index, cast to a
character.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

You asked yesterday the same question, with more details even !

This was the answer I gave you yesterday, it's still valid today

Hi,

Do this :

Create a new class ButtonEx : Button
{
char letter;
ButtonEx( char whatLetter){ letter = whatLetter; }
}

then create as many controls as you need :
// CODE TAKEN FROM cody's post
for (char l = 'A'; l<='Z'; l++)
{
ButtonEx b = new ButtonEx( l);
b.Text = l.ToString();
b.OnClick = new EventHandler( letterButton_Clicked); /// <<=== the real
thing
myForm.Controls.Add(b);
}

void letterButton_Clicked( object sender ... )
{
//cast the sender to the new button
ButtonEx clicked = ( ButtonEx) sender;
//access the char
clicked.Letter;
//do as needed
}


cheers,

I am creating an inventory program, I would like to know how to create A to
Z
buttons on runtime and than save data to the letter. Like if I hit F I
will
get all the names that start with F

I have the code to creat the buttons - thanks, but it only creates the a
button and not b,c .. and so on I am using
b.location = new point (x,y);
b.size = new size (x,y);
I forgot the x and y numbers but it is displying just the letter A. I would
like to display them one after the other

location as you desire

cheers,

 

[Guest]

so if I have a button like
b.location = new point (10,25); and I want another one created next to it
so would it be
b.location = new point(10,35);
or can I do someting like
x = 10
y = 25 ++

Hi,

you would do

y += 25;

Point p = new point(10,35);

for (char l = 'A'; l<='Z'; l++)
{
ButtonEx b = new ButtonEx( l);
b.Text = l.ToString();
b.Location = p;
p.Y+=25;
b.OnClick = new EventHandler( letterButton_Clicked); /// <<=== the real
thing
myForm.Controls.Add(b);
}
