Creating a picture box array

[Jeff Ciaccio]

Is there some way to create a picture box as a member of an array? There is
no "index" property as in the VB 6 image control, and it will not let me
name it pictureBox(0)

Thanks

Re: Creating a picture box array

I forgot to ask this too. Will all the picture boxes on a form
automatically be a member of an array? I would like to be able to choose
them all and set them to not visible (to clear all the pictures from a
form).

For each pictureBox in (???)
.visible = false

There are no control arrays in VB.NET - but, you can have arrays of controls
:) It's not a concept supported by the IDE so, you have to write a bit of
code - for example (warning: air code - syntax and logic errors may exist!):

Option Strict On
Option Explicit Off
Option Infer Off

Imports System
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.Windows. Forms

Public Class MyForm
Inherits System.Windows. Forms

Private _images() As PictureBox

Private Sub New ()
InitializeCompo nent()
_images = New PictureBox() {PictureBox1, PictureBox2, PictureBox3}
End Sub

Private Sub SomeSub ()
' do stuff with the pictureboxes
For Each picture As PictureBox In _images
' do stuff with picture
Next

_images(0).What Ever = SomeValue
End Sub
End Class
