ok so in my switch(comboBox1.SelectedIndex) in case 1 it creates some Labels and comboBoxes dynamically and adds them to tabPage1, but I want those dynamically created controls to be removed when case 2 is selected
public void comboBox2_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
switch (comboBox2.SelectedIndex)
{
case 0:
{
//do nothing.
break;
}
case 1:
{
Label label16 = new Label();
tabPage1.Controls.Add(label16);
label16.Left = 465;
label16.Top = 111;
label16.Text = "Time:";
label16.Size = new Size(60, 13);
ComboBox comboBox13 = new ComboBox();
tabPage1.Controls.Add(comboBox13);
comboBox13.Left = 533;
comboBox13.Top = 108;
comboBox13.Size = new Size(104, 21);
comboBox13.DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList;
comboBox13.DisplayMember = "Text";
comboBox13.ValueMember = "Value";
var ComboBox13Items = new[] {
new { Text = "1 Second", Value = "1" },
new { Text = "2.5 Seconds", Value = "2.5" },
new { Text = "5 Seconds", Value = "5" },
new { Text = "7.5 Seconds", Value = "7.5" },
new { Text = "10 Seconds", Value = "10" }
};
comboBox13.DataSource = ComboBox13Items;
break;
}
case 2:
{
foreach (Control TimeLabel in tabPage1.Controls.OfType<Controls>())
{
if (TimeLabel.Name == "label16")
tabPage1.Controls.Remove(TimeLabel);
}
foreach (Control TimeComboBox in tabPage1.Controls.OfType<Controls>())
{
if (TimeComboBox.Name == "comboBox13")
tabPage1.Controls.Remove(TimeComboBox);
}
break;
}
I also tried changing OfType<Controls>
to OfType<Label>
and OfType<ComboBox>
, still no luck :/
Label label16 = new Label();
tabPage1.Controls.Add(label16);
label16.Left = 465;
label16.Top = 111;
label16.Text = "Time:";
label16.Size = new Size(60, 13);
Does not create a button called "label16" it creates an unnamed button.
you would need to add
labal16.Name = "label16";
Names should be unique, keep a counter or something if theres chance that more than one set would be added and use the counter to make a unique name.
