Hi
I have 24 textboxes and 24 sliders on a tabpage that are linked to each other (I.e. change the textbox value and the slider value changes - change the slider value and the textbox value changes). The code for a single pair of controls (kindly suggested by an EE expert) is as follows:
Private mblnChangingValue As Boolean = False
Private Sub Gtrackbar1_ValueChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles GTrackBar1.ValueChanged
If mblnChangingValue Then Return
mblnChangingValue = True
TextBox1.Text = GTrackBar1.Value
mblnChangingValue = False
End Sub
Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged
If mblnChangingValue Then Return
Dim intNewValue As Integer
Integer.TryParse(TextBox1.Text, intNewValue)
If intNewValue > GTrackBar1.MinValue AndAlso intNewValue < GTrackBar1.MaxValue Then
mblnChangingValue = True
GTrackBar1.Value = intNewValue
mblnChangingValue = False
End If
End Sub
What I am wondering is, whether there is any way to handle this for all 24 sliders and textboxes, without having to repeat the above code 24 times (times 7 tabpages). For example, is it possible to assigned a variable name to the control in the above code, so that the execution of the code depends on which pair of controls is being adjusted? Each pair has a matching control number (e.g. textbox5 and GTrackBar5, if that helps. Incidentally, the sliders are custom controls, just in case some of the properties are confusing.
If this is possible, I can use the same principle on numerous other functions of the application, hopefully saving a few thousand lines of code and a day cutting, pasting and changing control names.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Regards
Terry
