nameing the labels

[Haneen]

Hi, This is haneen :)

I face a problem with labels
I have a for loop and I want to pass over 15 labels like this:

string[15] name = new string [15];
for(int i=0;i<15 ;i++)
{
  labeli=name[i];
}

I can't use the variable i here .... so what can i do ??

thanx

How does this

string[15] name = new string [15];

compile?

[Haneen]

sorry i've done a mistake..

string[] s = new string[15];

[newb16]

Still no luck. Is it java or c#?

If you have 15 labels, then why is the variable named labeli? Do you mean label[i] ?

[Haneen]

It's C#
...

I know I can't write labeli here in this code but i did so to declare what i need
I need a way so that I can pass over the 15 label using there names

instead of writing

label1.text="one";
label2.text="two";
..

I need to do this with a for loop like

for(int i=0;i<15;i++)
{
  label i = "some thing";
}

but as I said I can't use labeli here ...
if you know a way to do so please tell me

thanx for being patient

Each form has a collection of controls that keeps track of everything that you have added to the form, including all of your labels. You can iterate through your form's control collection, checking each control to see if it is a label. When you find a label, you will have to cast the control to a label and then you can handle it as you please.

foreach (Control tempControl in this.Controls)
{
    if (tempControl.GetType() == typeof(System.Windows.Forms.Label))
    {
        tempLabel = (Label)tempControl;
        //handle the label here
    }
}

This is allows you to handle as many labels as you please, but is not terribly efficient.

You could also create a collection for labels in the form and add the labels to the collection one at a time during the form's constructor or load event. Then you would be able to do something like

label[i].text = string[i];
