code; no workie, workie for creating a dynamic control

Targets Web
#1

I’m trying to create several dynamic controls with in a Webcontainer.
The Code takes an object that has been already created on the Webcontainer ( by dragging and dropping from the IDE), and then tries to copy that object x number of times.
The Code works, kinda sort of, it only duplicates the object once.

The object is a ‘Super’ of the webimageview class

any idea on what I’m doing wrong??? Other than it doesn’t work :slight_smile:
I’m on 2012 R2.1
Thanks to all who help!

  if session.opend = false then  //opend is a method in session, that connects to a DB
    //TODO: display error
  elseif Session.opend = true then
    session.SQL  = "SELECT Test.menuName, Test.menuPKI FROM test"
    session.rs = session.db.SQLSelect(session.SQL)  // "rs"  property in session of Recordset
   //TODO: db error checking    


    dim x as integer // to shift Dynamic control left by 112
    x = 9  // start with 9

    for i as integer = 0 to session.rs.RecordCount
      if session.rs.EOF() then  //EOF = true , exit out
        return
      end
      
      msgbox(session.rs.Field("menuName"))  //Msgbox Display's the field correctly on every pass
      
      // -----      Code below; Trying to duplicate an already existing object in the WebContainer --
      //-----      Only displays the object, once
      // -----     Tried the code with a normal webimageview, same results
      dim dynamicControl as new myImageviewClass
      dynamicControl = myImageviewClass1
      dynamicControl.Left = x
      dynamicControl.top = 32
      dynamicControl.Visible = true
      dynamicControl.Enabled = true
      
      x = x + 112  //shifting by 112 every iteration of the FOR/NEXT
      session.rs.MoveNext
    next
    
  end

dont try to copy an existing control on the WebPage. Create a new one from scratch like this:

dim w as new myImageViewClass w.embedWithin(self,x,32,w.width,w.height)

Hi Greg, thank you for your quick reply

can you do an ‘embedWithin’ within a WebContainer control?

I understand what you are trying to tell me, and yes that would work with a webpage.

none the less, thank you for the reply!

Create a WebContainer subclass that has the control in it that you want to add dynamically. Then in code, create an instance and call EmbedWithin on that.
