Do you know at design time what you need and where? If not then creating them at run time is fair enough. The fact that you say that you have 24 PictureBoxes in a TableLayoutPanel seems to suggest that the number and location doesn't vary though, so why would you not add them in the designer? Anything you know at design time should be done in the designer.
John, is there a way to select a whole bunch of the same control in order to change a parameter for each, without having to select each one individually ?
I know I can see the list in the properties dialogue, but I can't find a way to select more than one item at a time.
In the quoted incidence there were only 24 picture boxes, fair enough, a click on each isn't too arduous but when there are (say) 200 plus controls, scattered among many other controls and they're physically small on the screen, selecting one and missing... clicking the TableLayoutPanel instead maybe, means having to start again if you don't happen notice it at the time. Very aggravating !
