Hi all, I am new to c#, comming from Delphi, I would like to ask if any of you guys out there can tell me how to create components on a form, on the fly.
I have some Delphi examples to show what I want c# to do.
First of all - creating a component on the fly, in the Delphi exampel I create a Panel and setup a few property, the most important is the component name, so I can find the component again when I want to change the property or free it. Also the parent and the owner is important to be able to display the component.
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);begin With Tpanel.Create(Form1) do begin Parent:=Form1; Name:='Mypanel1'; Caption:='My Cap'; top:=20; Left:=20; Height:=100; Width:=100; end;end;
The next problem is the way to find and use the component, the next to small procedures show what I mean..
The first one find component and use type cast to change the property..
procedure TForm1.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);var P: TComponent;begin P:=FindComponent('MyPanel1'); if P<>nil then begin with TPanel(P) do begin top:=30; Left:=30; Height:=80; Width:=80; Caption:='New Cap'; end; end;end;
The last one does the same, but free the component from the memory..
procedure TForm1.Button3Click(Sender: TObject);var P: TComponent;begin P:=FindComponent('MyPanel1'); if P<>nil then begin Tpanel(P).Free; end;end;
It would make me very happy if some one could help me getting on with c#, thanks in advance.
Regards..
Jan
