Add checkbox to form

[manpaul]

How do I add a checkbox to a form programmatically.

Depending on a varaible 1 - 9 I have to add a checkbox
1 = 1 checkbox,1 grid 9 = 9 checkboxes, and 9 grids to a form. The form exist. Depending on the variable I'll have to generate the following on enter of the form. Where is the best place and way to do this

Try this in the click method of the checkbox.

Brian

IF this.value=1
	Thisform.AddObject("grid1","grid")
	Thisform.AddObject("cbox1","checkbox")
	Thisform.grid1.Left=20
	Thisform.cbox1.Left=20
	Thisform.cbox1.Top=100
	Thisform.grid1.Visible=.t.
	Thisform.cbox1.Visible=.t.
ELSE
	Thisform.RemoveObject("grid1")
ENDIF

NINE Grids! WOW!

You could use form.AddObject() or form.NewObject() to add controls, just don't forget to Set .Visible = .t. to new added control. But 9 grids? Are you sure?
Create your own method something like:
AddControls(m.lnNumber) and invoke it from Init Event of the form: thisform.AddControls(3), that way you could invoke this method from everywhere if there you have access to forms methods.

Paul,

Like Borislav, I'm surprised you have so many grids on a form. Obviously I don't know anything about your application, but it does seem that the form will be somewhat complex for the user. What exactly is the form doing?

You are right after think about it (and reading your comments) I will have create the of check boxes required bases on the number then One grid with columns set to that number and this will work fine.
