Create PictureBox at runtime 1

[Terabithia]

I need to be able to create additional PictureBox controls at runtime in VB.net script, there will be one PictureBox already on the form. I then need to position it relevant to the previous one. I will have the path and name for the image files and I know how to load that to the control. At design time I will not know how many of the PictureBox controls need to be created.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

A bit of code to get you started.

Dim pb As PictureBox
Dim ThisPicBoxLeft As Integer

pb = New PictureBox

pb.Name = "NameHere"

ThisPicBoxLeft = PictureBox1.Left + PictureBox1.Width + 10 'assumes PictureBox1 is the one that is already on the form. Add 10 to put some space between the 2

pb.Left = ThisPicBoxLeft
pb.Top = PictureBox1.Top

Me.Controls.Add(pb) 'add the picturebox to the form


When adding more picture boxes:

ThisPicBoxLeft = ThisPicBoxLeft + pb.Width + 10
