Doesn't display created object at runtime 1

[WomanPro]

Hello everybody,
I have created a class object so that I can draw it at design in my form. But I need an array of that objects, so that I created a piece of code that does it but the objects aren't displaying at runtime. Do I miss something in my code like drawing it or something else? And how can I do that? Any help will be much appreciated.


Dim array(5) As userBtn.PcBtn_Checker
Dim i, x, y, Wdth, Hght As Integer


Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
x = PcBtn_Checker1.Location.X
y = PcBtn_Checker1.Location.Y + PcBtn_Checker1.Height
Wdth = PcBtn_Checker1.Width
Hght = PcBtn_Checker1.Height
For i = 0 To 4
array(i) = New userBtn.PcBtn_Checker
array(i).SetBounds(x, y, Wdth, Hght)
array(i).Location = New Point(x, y)
x = x
y = y + PcBtn_Checker1.Height
array(i).Parent = Me.PictureBox1
Me.Controls.Add(array(i))
array(i).Show()
next
end sub

Maybe it's this:

array(i).Parent = Me.PictureBox1
Me.Controls.Add(array(i))

You make the controls' Parent a PictureBox, then add the controls to the Form, not the PictureBox.

Or, maybe the controls are behind the PictureBox?

thank you!!! when I removed Me.Controls.Add ((array(i)) statement, it worked.
But is it possible to use that statement and add each array element in the picturebox control and not to the form?

Yes. Instead of Me.Controls.Add ((array(i)) use PictureBox1.Controls.Add ((array(i)). Although, unless there is some reason you need to use a PictureBox, I suggest using a container control, like a Panel.
