    Exclamation Creating a Picturebox at Runtime (windows forms applications)

    Hi,I want to create a picturebox at runtime.i mean when i click a button then,the picturebox is created.
    i have tried this code, but it doesnt work.

    Code:
                                   
    		                 PictureBox^ pct;
    
                                     pct=gcnew PictureBox;
    				
    				pct->Location = Point(240,210);
    
    				pct->Size.Height= 30;
    
    				pct->Size.Width= 30;
    
    				pct->BackColor.Aquamarine; 
    				 Controls->Add(pct);
    
    				 pct->Visible=true;

    I suggest if you cannot figure out how to properly create a PictureBox then drop one with the designer and look into its code how the designer did it, then try to do the same

    if you use Opera and you'd like to have the tab-button functionality for the texteditor take a look at my Opera Tab-UserScirpt; and if you know how to stop firefox from jumping to the next control when you hit tab let me know

    then could you be more specific about what doesnt work? are there any errors? are those picture boxes not visible? null references or so?

    there are many "arrays", the classic one
    Code:
    cli::array
    or .net collections, take a look at this namespace
    Code:
    System.Collections
    and
    Code:
    System.Collections.Generic
    I'm sure you'll find something that suits your needs
