How to assign a value to a location.x of a picturebox programmatically? 1

[Antzelinaki]

Hello!!!
I have created an array of pictureboxes named pbs. Public pbs(8) As PictureBox
And the what I want to do is to assign a different specific value for Location.X and Location.Y programmatically for each element. x,y are variables that change their values for each element programmatically.

for example

for i=0 to 7

pbs(i).Location.X = x
pbs(i).Location.Y = y​

next i

Unfortunately I am getting this error Expression is a value and therefore cannot be the target of an assignment.
before to run it. So, is there a way to do it and how??? Any help will be much appreciated.

Use the Left and Top properties to set the X and Y, respectively:

for i=0 to 7
pbs(i).Left = x
pbs(i).Top = y
next i

0,0 is the upper-left corner of the container (e.g., form, panel, tab control, etc.)

You can also do:

for i=0 to 7
pbs(i).Location = New Point(x, y)
next i
