create labels on a form based on entries in datagridview vb.net

Question

I have a form with a datagridview containing entries for an invoice. I have created a separate form that will contain the entries from the datagridview in labels. Unfortunately, I am having trouble finding out how to generate a table of labels with each label holding the value of the corresponding entry in the datagridview. I am wondering if it is possible to do this with a for next loop based on the number of rows in the datagridview. Thanks in advance for any guidance in this!

Answer 1

Dim lbl As New Label
With lbl
   .Text = txtCaption    ' value you want it to display from dgv.dr
   .Top = 
   .Left = 
   .Name =
   .Size =
End With

I dont know what you mean by a table of labels, so lets say you want to add them to a panel there just for them:

pnlLabels.Controls.Add(lbl)

Make that a Sub and call it from the loop processing the rows in the datagridview, passing the relevant value for its caption. Something like this:

CreateLabel(ndx as Integer, txtCaption as String)

You will need an index or counter of how many made so that some properties like .Top can be offset accordingly.

EDIT

I have no idea what your dgv or data etc looks like, but your loop would be SOMETHING like this:

pnlLabels.Controls.Clear             ' might want to remove any old ones

Dim Caption as String = ""
Dim ndx As Integer = 0
For Each dr As DataGridViewRow in dgv.rows
     Caption = dr.Cells(X)        ' or where the data is

     CreateLabel(ndx, Caption)
     ndx += 1
