Form only recognizes one Groupbox property

I am trying to populate a run-time created Form.
First I create my text-properties that's supposed to each button
public static List<string> GetDialogs()
{
dialogs = new List<string>();
var tempString = "";
for (int i = 1; i <= FormSize.getHorizontalButtonCount(); i++)
{
for (int j = 1; j <= FormSize.getVerticalButtonCount(); j++)
{
//fx
tempString = $"{i}x{j*multiplier}";
dialogs.Add(tempString);
}
}
return dialogs;
}
and my list ends up like "1x5", "1x10", "1x15", "2x5" etc
Then I create all my Radiobuttons
public static List<RadioButton> CreateRadioButtons()
{
List<RadioButton> radioButtons = new List<RadioButton>();
for (int i = 0; i < FormSize.getRadioButtonCount(); i++)
{
var tempName = $"btn{i}";
radioButtons.Add(new RadioButton());
radioButtons[i].Name = tempName;
}
return radioButtons;
}
Which just creates a lot of buttons with some names like btn1 etc
Then I populate my Radiobutton-list with my dialog-list
private List<RadioButton> PopulateRadiobuttons()
{
dialogs = FormDialogs.GetDialogs();
List<RadioButton> tempRadioButtons = RadioButtonCreator.CreateRadioButtons();
for (int i = 0; i < FormSize.getRadioButtonCount(); i++)
{
tempRadioButtons[i].Text = dialogs[i];
}
return tempRadioButtons;
}
Now my Radiobuttons both contain a name like btn20 and a text like 4x30
Then I first populate a GroupBox with all my RadioButton elements before lastly populating my form with the groupbox.
public Form PopulateForm()
{
_box = new GroupBox();
radioButtons = PopulateRadiobuttons();
for (int i = 0; i < radioButtons.Count; i++)
{
_box.Controls.Add(radioButtons[i]);
}
_form.Controls.Add(_box);
return _form;
}
Besides all this, when I call this method to create a form it's only the first radiobutton that appears, the 1x5 one.
How could I go on about including all my buttons in my Form?
Here's what I do so far
private void Bt1_Click(object sender, Microsoft.Office.Tools.Ribbon.RibbonControlEventArgs e)
{
FormCreator fm = new FormCreator();
f1 = fm.PopulateForm();
f1.Show();
}

Adding multiple levels of dynamically created tabs

I'm working on a WinForms application in which I have one static TabControl with a tab on which I need to add multiple levels of additional tabs. The number of these tabs will change depending on the data being loaded to the form.
I can add the first line of dynamic tabs tp the static tab like this for example:
TabControl tabControlWafers = new TabControl();
tabControlWafers.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
int numwafers = wafers.Count();
for (int m = 0; m < numwafers; m++)
{
TabPage tabPage = new TabPage()
{
Name = wafers[m]
};
tabPage.Text = wafers[m].ToString();
tabControlWafers.TabPages.Add(tabPage);
}
tabPage1.Controls.Add(tabControlWafers);
My problem is that now I need to add another level of dynamically created tabs to each of the pages created above. After creating the next tabs like before:
TabControl tabControlStructure = new TabControl();
tabControlStructure.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
int numstruct = structures.Count();
for (int n = 0; n < numstruct; n++)
{
TabPage tabPagestruct = new TabPage()
{
Name = structures[n]
};
tabPagestruct.Text = structures[n].ToString();
tabControlStructure.Controls.Add(tabPagestruct);
}
How do I get the tabs created here onto each of the first three tabs?

You should be able to accomplish what you need by iterating over the TabPageCollection in tabControlWafers.TabPages, then creating and adding one of your tabControlStructure objects at each iteration. See below for an example of how this could be done. Note the example assumes tabControlWafers has already been created.
foreach (TabPage tp in tabControlWafers.TabPages)
{
TabControl tabControlStructure = new TabControl()
{
Dock = DockStyle.Fill
};
int numstruct = structures.Count();
for (int i = 0; i < numstruct; i++)
{
TabPage tabPagestruct = new TabPage()
{
Name = structures[i],
Text = structures[i]
};
tabControlStructure.TabPages.Add(tabPagestruct);
}
tp.Controls.Add(tabControlStructure);
}
Edit:
Below is a generic example of the method by which I would generate the net nested TabPage structure. Note that if this were real, production code I would pull the addition of subpages off into its own method (something like addSubPages(TapPage parent, String[] names). This is nothing but a simple, paste and run example to give a better picture of what I am describing.
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
TabControl tc1 = new TabControl()
{
Dock = DockStyle.Fill
};
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
tc1.TabPages.Add(i.ToString());
}
foreach (TabPage tp in tc1.TabPages)
{
TabControl tc2 = new TabControl
{
Dock = DockStyle.Fill
};
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
tc2.TabPages.Add(tp.Text + "." + i.ToString());
}
tp.Controls.Add(tc2);
foreach (TabPage tp2 in tc2.TabPages)
{
TabControl tc3 = new TabControl
{
Dock = DockStyle.Fill
};
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
tc3.TabPages.Add(tp2.Text + "." + i.ToString());
}
tp2.Controls.Add(tc3);
}
}
this.Controls.Add(tc1);
}
The above example represents the constructor of an otherwise blank form that looks like the following:

how to access the control within a control in tablelayout

I have a Class(Conatiner) object in a tablelayoutpanel cell. I want to access that textfield in that specific field. How can I take the values on a button click?
I want to access the 1 2 3 with the Channel and the X and Y values. But I do not know the number objects in the tableLayoutPanel
Here is the code I have written so far
private void masterTab1_SaveButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var colWidths = this.MatrixPanel.GetColumnWidths();
var rowHeights = this.MatrixPanel.GetRowHeights();
int col = -1, row = -1;
int offset = 0;
for (int iRow = 0; iRow < this.MatrixPanel.RowCount; ++iRow)
{
offset += rowHeights[iRow];
row = iRow;
for (int iCol = 0; iCol < this.MatrixPanel.ColumnCount; ++iCol)
{
offset += colWidths[iCol];
col = iCol;
var myCellControl = MatrixPanel.GetControlFromPosition(col, row);
if (myCellControl is Container)
{
Adapter.insertposition(RackID, row, col, //Want the Channel Value , "Ready");
}
}
}
}

if your "Container" class is properly setup/has all the properties or controls you need to get the information you want, then i believe what you are looking for is this:
if (myCellControl is Container)
{
Container tmp = myCellControl as Container;
//after this point, you can reference the controls/properties of your
//Container class/control using tmp... see example below as i do not know
//what your Container control exposes as far as properties are concerned.
Adapter.insertposition(RackID, row, col, tmp.ChannelValue, "Ready");
}

How to get the Row index and Columns index in the datagridView

My question is: When I click some Checkbox, how can I get the current checkbox control's index from DataGridView
Here is my snick code
dataGridView2.RowCount = 5;
dataGridView2.ColumnCount = 4;
for (int i = 0; i < dataGridView2.ColumnCount; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < dataGridView2.RowCount; j++)
{
box = new CheckBox();
box.Text = "MyDate";
//box.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(15, 15);
dataGridView2.Controls.Add(box);
Rectangle rec = dataGridView2.GetCellDisplayRectangle(i, j, true);
box.Left = rec.Left;
box.Top = rec.Top;
}
}
}

It looks like that you try adding pure CheckBoxes to your DataGridView without using a DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn, the solution for this approach is simple like this:
for (int i = 0; i < dataGridView2.ColumnCount; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < dataGridView2.RowCount; j++)
{
box = new CheckBox();
box.Text = "MyDate";
//box.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(15, 15);
dataGridView2.Controls.Add(box);
Rectangle rec = dataGridView2.GetCellDisplayRectangle(i, j, true);
box.Left = rec.Left;
box.Top = rec.Top;
//Added code
box.Tag = new Point(i,j);
box.Click += CheckBoxesClicked;
}
}
private void CheckBoxesClicked(object sender, EventArgs e){
CheckBox chb = sender as CheckBox;
if(chb.Tag != null) {
Point coord = (Point)chb.Tag;
MessageBox.Show(string.Format("Row index: {0}\nColumn index: {1}", coord.Y, coord.X);
}
}
You should use a DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn instead, with that approach, you can handle the event CellContentClick...

if you are using the CellContentClick event or any other event that you get the DataGridViewCellEventArgs then you have ColumnIndex and RowIndex properties that are the column and row of the cell changed

Create a defined number of Label in a for loop

I want to create dynamically 10 Labels inside a for loop
string labelName;
for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
labeName = "Label" & i;
// Creata & Instanciate the label here, How ?
}

How would you create a bunch of objects which weren't UI elements? Use a collection:
List<Label> labels = new List<Label>();
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
Label label = new Label();
// Set properties here
labels.Add(label);
}
You'll presumably want to add these labels to a form or page or whatever too...

List<string> labelName = new List<string>();
for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
labeName.Add(string.Concat("Label", i));
}
