Help creating a new flowlayoutpanel for each item in my list
Ok, I am not sure how to do this as I am trying to teach myself C# and create a program for work at the same time.
I have a List of IP addresss:
Code:
List<IPAddress> addresses
It could contain anywhere from 1 to 1500 IP addresses. I can access all the items on this list using this debug code to verify the list is set up right.
Code:
// Loop through the array and send the contents of the array to debug window.
for (int counter = 0; counter < addresses.Count; counter++)
{
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(addresses[counter]);
}
I have a base FlowPanelLayout container in my Windows Form that is Scrollable up and Down:
Code:
//
// flowLayoutPanel1
//
this.flowLayoutPanel1.AutoScroll = true;
this.flowLayoutPanel1.FlowDirection = System.Windows.Forms.FlowDirection.TopDown;
this.flowLayoutPanel1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(12, 67);
this.flowLayoutPanel1.Name = "flowLayoutPanel1";
this.flowLayoutPanel1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(1172, 597);
this.flowLayoutPanel1.TabIndex = 1;
I want to create a new FlowLayoutPanel foreach IPAddress in that list.
From Research it looks like I can use the list as a Dictionary file to create a new variable name for each FlowPanel only I am not sure how.
I did a test FlowPanel and came up with the layout below, I would like each Dynamicly created FlowPanel to be scrollable if needed Left to Right, to have a Label (The IP Address) and 6 buttons for that location each with the same text on them: Router, Switch, Steelhead, InPath, Server, and NCAP.
I would also like to be able to do On Click and On Load Events later for each of these buttons being created. Do I have to do this now when they are being created or would I be able to do a separate void for that later?
Code:
//
// flowLayoutPanel2
//
this.flowLayoutPanel2.Controls.Add(this.label2);
this.flowLayoutPanel2.Controls.Add(this.button1);
this.flowLayoutPanel2.Controls.Add(this.button2);
this.flowLayoutPanel2.Controls.Add(this.button3);
this.flowLayoutPanel2.Controls.Add(this.button4);
this.flowLayoutPanel2.Controls.Add(this.button5);
this.flowLayoutPanel2.Controls.Add(this.button6);
this.flowLayoutPanel2.FlowDirection = System.Windows.Forms.FlowDirection.LeftToRight;
this.flowLayoutPanel2.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(3, 3);
this.flowLayoutPanel2.Name = "flowLayoutPanel2";
this.flowLayoutPanel2.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(1071, 57);
this.flowLayoutPanel2.TabIndex = 0;
//
// label2
//
this.label2.Anchor = System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Left;
this.label2.AutoSize = true;
this.label2.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", 12F, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point, ((byte)(0)));
this.label2.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(3, 18);
this.label2.Name = "label2";
this.label2.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(129, 20);
this.label2.TabIndex = 0;
this.label2.Text = "199.169.250.126";
//
// button1
//
this.button1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(138, 3);
this.button1.Name = "button1";
this.button1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(150, 50);
this.button1.TabIndex = 1;
this.button1.Text = "Router";
this.button1.UseVisualStyleBackColor = true;
//
// button2
//
this.button2.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(294, 3);
this.button2.Name = "button2";
this.button2.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(150, 50);
this.button2.TabIndex = 2;
this.button2.Text = "Switch";
this.button2.UseVisualStyleBackColor = true;
//
// button3
//
this.button3.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(450, 3);
this.button3.Name = "button3";
this.button3.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(150, 50);
this.button3.TabIndex = 3;
this.button3.Text = "Steelhead";
this.button3.UseVisualStyleBackColor = true;
//
// button4
//
this.button4.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(606, 3);
this.button4.Name = "button4";
this.button4.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(150, 50);
this.button4.TabIndex = 4;
this.button4.Text = "InPath";
this.button4.UseVisualStyleBackColor = true;
//
// button5
//
this.button5.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(762, 3);
this.button5.Name = "button5";
this.button5.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(150, 50);
this.button5.TabIndex = 5;
this.button5.Text = "Server";
this.button5.UseVisualStyleBackColor = true;
//
// button6
//
this.button6.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(918, 3);
this.button6.Name = "button6";
this.button6.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(150, 50);
this.button6.TabIndex = 6;
this.button6.Text = "NCAP";
this.button6.UseVisualStyleBackColor = true;

Simplify, and create code to automate code.
Re: Help creating a new flowlayoutpanel for each item in my list
I honestly don't know how to write that code to automate code. I am too new to C# I think.
