Posted: Wed Aug 22, 2012 4:14 pm
ok guys I need help again. im thinking someone knows how todo this properly.
ok what i need is this.
i need to be able to add an undetermend number of a "UserControl" to a vb form at random locations.
plus not to have any other control overlapping another control.
Basic UserControl layout is a background image and maybe 2 labels and that is it.
i just need to add the random() function to add the usercontrol to the form in the correct way.
at the moment i am using this code but it does not work like i need it to.

Dim RandomClass As New Random()
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim ax As Integer = 10
For i = 1 To ax
Dim pb As New PictureBox
pb.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.AutoSize
pb.Image = Image.FromFile(Application.StartupPath + "\images\buildings\base.png")
pb.BackColor = Color.Transparent
pb.Location = New Point(RandomClass.Next(Me.Width), RandomClass.Next(Me.Height))
Me.Controls.Add(pb)
