Hey Guys,
i was wondering if i could get a hand with something here. I have been tryig for the past 6 hours ( i am not even kidding) to make a page that parses some info from a text (.js) file, displays it on the form, and allows the user to make changes and resave the file.
I have got as far as NO WHERE! i have been completly hung up on creating dynamic textbox's. To start. I have been able to parse the file and get the strings i need to display, and store them in an array. They come in groups of 2 (i.e Title, and URL) now the file currently has 2 sets of these. but in the future may have many more, which is why i need the page to dynamically create enough textbox pairs to display each of the entires.
i think i am able to get the loop working to make the textboxes using a basic
or something like that (i closed VWB now as i am so pissed off with it.)
the issue with this is that i cannot for the life of me find the textbox after i make it (after runtime) it appears on the page, but no code i seem to come up with can find the textbox again! i mean, eventually i will need to get the .text info from each box and write it back to the file. I have tried every type of "Me.Form1.FindControl("Box"&i)" i can think of and nothing. I have tried looking through the debugger locals but find nothing, not a single mention to the ID i specified (or the "newBox" for that matter)
Frustrating and missing half of my hair now I have thrown my hands in the air and decided to ask for help.
First step is going to be to create as many pairs of textboxes as i have entries in my array (holding the strings from the file).
Second step is to populate the textboxes with the array strings
ie. Box1.text = myArray(1)
and i think thats a solid start!
If anyone can help me with this i would be forever greatful!!! i have completly wasted my Thursday evening trying to figure this out!
I am more/less a begginner at this stuff so please be gentle! lol.
Thanks in advance!
