Enumerate Grids
I have a form that has 10 separate fpSpreads/grids on it.
Each grid will get filled in a class.
What I would like to do is enumerate each grid and be able to define it as the actual grid.
This is what I usually declare it as when I need to use an actual grid.
Private mfpGrd As FarPoint.Win.Spread.FpSpre
How can enumerate these grids and use it in my application?
Please provide example code, clicking on links crashes my IE.
Thanks

The question is not very clear. You have a Windows Forms app where you use a number of grids. You need to access each grid right?

I wanted to be able within code be able to use the intelliscence to know what the grid name is, but I also need to pass the grid to a class.
I have finished the form I was working on and just created some properties and had to hard code the names of the grids everywhere.
I am preparing another form, actually a usercontrol and would love to be able to have the names and grids easy to assess.
I created a question named "Copy Everything from TabPage1 to tabpage2" but the answer I got was for VB 6, not VB 2008 or VB.Net.
You have helped me before and have always provided great solutions. If you want to work with me, I will be creating a lot of questions.
Thanks

How would I go about creating a collection?
Thanks
Thanks
ASKER
Well I read all the articles and I understand a lot of it. I used to use a lot of control collections in VB 6 but need a sample that will create a collection of my fpSpread grids in VB2008.
Thanks
Thanks
You need to create the grids yourself. Configure the grids and add them to the collection by using the add method.
ASKER
Yes, I know. I have already created all the grids and I know about the add method, I just need to know what the format is for creating a collection that it knows each item is a spread so I can use the properties etc. of the fpSpread.
In enumeration, you can't define a control type, that's why I thought your idea for a collection would be great.
I need to know how to define it. but is a collection layed out like an enum???
I started with this declaration...
Private FGrd As FarPoint.Win.Spread.FpSpre
Collect as fGrd ???? how do I get started????

Well I finally found an example on the net.
Thank you for steering me towards collections... pretty easy in .Net
The following is what I am using...
Public FGrd As New Collection
Private Sub frmRaces_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
AddToCollection()
FormatHeaderCells()
End Sub
Private Sub AddToCollection()
With FGrd
.Add(Me.fpGrdEngines5)
.Add(Me.fpGrdFront5)
.Add(Me.fpGrdGearing5)
.Add(Me.fpGrdLFront5)
.Add(Me.fpGrdLRear5)
.Add(Me.fpGrdRear5)
.Add(Me.fpGrdRFront5)
.Add(Me.fpGrdRRear5)
.Add(Me.fpGrdWings5)
End With
End Sub
Private Sub FormatHeaderCells()
Dim sv As FarPoint.Win.Spread.SheetV
Dim cnt As FarPoint.Win.Spread.FpSpre
For Each cnt In FGrd
cnt.ActiveSheet.ColumnHead
cnt.ActiveSheet.VisualStyl
cnt.ActiveSheet.ColumnHead
sv = cnt.ActiveSheet
sv.AddColumnHeaderSpanCell
sv.Columns(1, 2).Label = ReturnLabel(cnt.Name)
sv.ColumnHeader.Cells(0, 1, 0, 2).BackColor = ReturnColor(cnt.Name)
If InStr(cnt.Name, "fpGrdFront") Or InStr(cnt.Name, "fpGrdRear") Then
sv.ColumnHeader.Cells(0, 1, 0, 2).Font = New Font(cnt.Font.Name, 6.5, FontStyle.Bold)
Else
sv.ColumnHeader.Cells(0, 1, 0, 2).Font = New Font(cnt.Font.Name, 8, FontStyle.Bold)
End If
Next cnt
End Sub

Else
sv.ColumnHeader.Cells(0, 1, 0, 2).Font = New Font(cnt.Font.Name, 8, FontStyle.Bold)
End If
Next cnt
End Sub
Glad that my idea was helpful to you.
