Add Controls to a Form at Runtime (Code A Program Manager In C# Step 3)
How can you create buttons and add them to a form when your application is running? I need to do that in my Program Manager when the user drags files out of the Windows File Explorer and onto the form. What’s more, each button needs a label and an icon. And it needs to be able to launch the associated program or document when it is clicked. In other words, it needs to have a Click event-handler that is created when the button itself is created.
Sounds like hard work? Well, no, it isn’t really. As this video explains.
To understand file launching, I’d also recommend that you watch my lessons on programming a Disk Browser – which you can find here: • How to Program A Disk Browser in C#
