    PictureBox created in code not working

    XP VB 2005 running an example from help that creates a picturebox in
    code - the picturebox is not created.
    If I comment out the "Dim Box as New PictureBox" and create it in
    Design mode - the example works.
    I have tried Show, Enabled, Visible, and even BackColor.
    Why does a help example not work? and why does Design creation work?
    Thanks - I hope.

      It's not much clear what you mean, but as far as i understand, you
      don't see picturebox on your form, and i think that's because you
      didn't add picturebox control on your form by calling "Me.Controls.Ad d
      (Box)" and also you need to specify the location of your picturebox
      based on your example which you didn't tell its code.

      So, try this with assumption:

      Dim Box As New PictureBox
      Box.Image = Image.FromFile( "c:\picture.jpg ")
      Box.Location = New Point(100, 100)
      ' Equalize picturebox size with image size
      Box.Size = Box.Image.Size

      ' Finally add control onto form
      Me.Controls.Add (Box)

      Hope this helps,

          I am using an example from Help showing how to draw a line in a
          PictureBox - so no image involved - and it did not work until I
          replaced "Dim Box as New PictureBox" with a box created in Design
          mode. Is that clear. Yes the "Me.Controls.Ad d(Box)" is there.
          Basically the question is - how to create a New PictureBox in code -
          not containing an image - the same way as a PictureBox is created in
          Design mode. Or is that not possible? Thanks.

              I said that I had "Me.Controls.Ad d(Box)" but I did NOT.
              Thank you for your help. Sorry about being so wrong.

                  That's why it helps if you post the code you are using.

                      So, your problem was solved by adding Me.Controls.Add (Box)?. I hope
                      so.
