Hey

I decided to develope a small program in Visual C#. I made a new CodeFile and I thought it would be a Header file because I know in C that's what it was called or a Include File. But I'm kinda confused with C#. In my other project that I was able to successfully make a new Tab page - however, it seems not the same in C#. So I was in the Function that makes the new panel.

Oh, btw - this program is like a quick easy wizard. So like it goes through steps like 1 - 5 steps. Each steps it changes the other panel that I have. Should I like make a panel in the designer mode then hide it from view then when the user clicks on next button it will hide that panel than show up the next one and so on. In VB.NET it's:

CODE

Dim NewTab as New TabPage;


That's creating a new tab in VB.NET but I'm not sure how to create a new panel in C#.

Help would be appreciated! Thanks!

okay, it's a new Panel not a new tab. Plus when I type in PanelPage = NewPanel = new ...

The intellisense doesn't show up for a new Panel. Plus I'm working in a Code File which is seperate from the Main Form. So I don't think it's gonna work like you wrote.

Here's the Codefile

CODE

public class main_module
{
    int step = 0;

    

    public void CreateNewPhase()
    {
        step += 1;

        NewPanel = new System.Windows.Forms.Panel();
        NewPanel.name = "Panel" & step;




    }

    public void GoNextStep(int count)
    {
    
    }

}


Here's when you click on the next button.

CODE

main_module.CreateNewPhase();



Thanks for the help! smile.gif

You have to tell it where to add the new Panel to, like your form. Look at the code:

csharp

public void CreateNewPhase(System.Windows.Forms.Form frm)
{
        step += 1;

        System.Windows.Forms.Panel NewPanel = new System.Windows.Forms.Panel();
        NewPanel.name = "Panel" & step;
        frm.Controls.Add(NewPanel);



}


Then when you call it (if you're calling it from the form you want to add the Panel to)

csharp

main_module.CreateNewPhase(this);

Alright, so far so good the only thing is that it's having trouble with the step part.

It's saying that

QUOTE

Error 1 An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'main_module.step' C:\Users\Evolution\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\Prankzter1\Prankzter1\CodeFile1.cs 11 9 Prankzter1



I have it like this:

csharp


public class main_module
{
 int step = 0;


    

    public static void CreateNewPhase(System.Windows.Forms.Form frm)
    {

        step = +1;



        System.Windows.Forms.Panel NewPanel = new System.Windows.Forms.Panel();


        
        NewPanel.Name = "Panel" & step;


        frm.Controls.Add(NewPanel);



    }

    public void GoNextStep(int count)
    {
    
    }

}


I looked up MSDN help and but it's a shitty help reference. I tried saying public int step;

then inside the funciton i put it as step = 0;

but that didn't do good and plus i don't think that would work because everytime it would runt he code it was just reset back to 0 and wouldn't do it's job like i wanted it to.

Thanks guys - I'm more familiar with VB.NET and just trying to get C# under my belt.

Peace and thanks fro the help!

You're trying to reference a non-static variable inside a static method. Change this

csharp

int step = 0;


to

csharp

private static int step = 0;
