accessing webcontainers from code

General
1

I have
Dim c As New MyContainer
c.LockRight = True
c.LockBottom = True
c.EmbedWithin(Self, 0, 0, c.Width, c.Height)
Dim d As New MyContainer
d.LockRight = True
d.LockBottom = True
d.EmbedWithin(Self, 0, 0, c.Width, c.Height)

if I want to control the two containers (eg change contents) via code, how do I know what the container is called inside the webpage?
would it be mycontainer1 , mycontainer2?

Using your variable names it would be c and d. I would recommend using something much more descriptive.

If you don’t retain them in a property of the webpage, you’ll have to iterate through all controls on the page to find them again once they go out of scope at the end of the method.

May I suggest next time you post code you select it and click the code icon <[>] on top of the editor. It will be more legible.

Instead of DIMming c and d, make them a property of the WebPage, so you can refer to your WebContainers outside of this code. Otherwise they simply have no name at all.

For example code, a single letter is okay - it’s only trying to show the general idea.

Did you understand where the variable name that you’ll need to reference comes from?
Happy to elaborate if you have any questions :slight_smile:
