Using a TextBox inside a GroupBox

Question

Hello,

please could you help me with coding.
I have two GroupBox (players, game)
Inside first box(players) I have two TextBoxs (name, surname)x(24rows) and in second (game) only one Label for each player.

I need join name and surname from first GroupBox to Label in second GroupBox after press button inside first GroupBox.

I use GroupBox for easy hidden (property visible) all TextBoxes at once.

Sorry for my English.

Thanks Namrmic

Answer 1

try this:

Label1.Text = Textbox1.Text & Textbox2.Text & Label1.Text

Label2.Text = Textbox3.Text & Textbox4.Text & Label2.Text

.

.

Label24.Text = Textbox47.Text & Textbox48.Text & Label24.Text

I assume it is windows forms. In that the Groupbox is not important for programming, you can just use the name of the textobxes

TheLabel = TextBoxFirstName.Text & " " & TextboxLastName.Text

Yes, I now about this but can I use For...Next, Do...Loop or any other function?

Thanks

Answer 4

You can do that in a For Index, however be aware it will cost your not much less code than writing those 24 lines and it is much more confusing. 

It will be something like

        Dim GroupBox1TextBoxes() As Control = {TextBox1, TexBox2, Textbox3}
        Dim Groupbox2TextBoxes() As Control = {TextBoxA, TexBoxB, TextboxC}
        Dim Groupbox2Labels() As Control = {Labely, Labelx, Labelz}
        For i = 0 To GroupBox1TextBoxes.Length - 1
            Groupbox2Labels(i).Text = GroupBox1TextBoxes(i).Text & " " & Groupbox2TextBoxes(i).Text
        Next

Hello namrmic,

another example with the use of liqtoobjects and of the collection, the whole then saved in a third collection that groups the data of the first two and displays them on the screen.

 Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim myValueTextBox As List(Of String) = (From textbox In GroupBox1.Controls.OfType(Of TextBox)() Select textbox.Text).ToList()
        Dim myValueLabel As List(Of String) = (From label In GroupBox2.Controls.OfType(Of Label)() Select label.Text).ToList()
        Dim value As New List(Of String)

        For i As Integer = 0 To myValueTextBox.Count - 1
            value.Add(String.Concat(myValueTextBox(i), myValueLabel(i)))
        Next

        For index As Integer = 0 To value.Count - 1
            MessageBox.Show(value(index).ToString())
        Next
    End Sub

Regards.
