Control Arrays

[rctaubert]

I have move an application from VB6 to VB.net. In VB6 I used Control Arrays (an array of Labels). Through articles I have found on various Forums I have been able to re-create control arrays in VB.net.

I have successfully recoded everything in VB.net but have two questions:

1) Can I add custom properties to a class based on Labels? How?

2) I cannot find a way to have the Label.Click event return the Index of the Label clicked. Any suggestions.

My thanks to anyone who can help me with this.

I'll attempt to answer your questions by pointing you to other articles.

1) Can I add custom properties to a class based on Labels? How?

Yes, Subclass them.

2) I cannot find a way to have the Label.Click event return the Index of the Label clicked. Any suggestions.

I'm not sure how you implemnted your version of a control array, but I would suggest looking at the sender argument of the click event.

shyt, instead of control arrays, i'd suggest useing the label collection, i dont have any knowledge, but in my advanced vb.net class (we're gonna get into collections in a month) the teacher's already told us that in .net though arrays are fully support we should use collections above arrays cause of the support behind them
