Question

I have created an array square(40) as picturebox.

I have to assign 40 picture boxes in my form to these arrays. All have names like, pb1,pb2 and so on. How to do it by looping? Or will I have to go by the standard method of assigning them one at a time?

Answer 1

You can loop through your Forms Control Collection and assign them that way, I would use your Tag Property as an Index.

For Each cntrl As Control In Me.Controls
    If TypeOf cntrl Is PictureBox Then
        square(CInt(cntrl.Tag)) = CType(cntrl, PictureBox)
    End If
