Hi,

I have a VB.net application that is dynamically building a collection of popups under a popup. Within this popup, there needs to be buttons. All of this needs to be created dynamically.

I am getting an unhandled exception, and I can't work out why. Any help would be gratefully recieved!

Code: 


Private Sub getContacts()
        Dim cInfo As OSSDKWS.ContactInfo
        Dim dInfo As OSSDKWS.DeviceInfo
        Dim dcontext As OSSDKWS.DeviceContextInfo
        Dim newContact As New AddinExpress.MSO.ADXCommandBarPopup
        Dim newButton As New AddinExpress.MSO.ADXCommandBarButton
        Dim tmpStr As String
        Dim tmpCollection As New AddinExpress.MSO.ADXCommandBarPopupControlCollection(newContact)

        Me.cmdMyContacts.Controls.Clear()
        For Each cInfo In ossdkPWS.PAGetUserContactList(strCHandle, strPrimaryURI, OSSDKWS.ContactResponseType.UserContext, True)
            lbTemp.Items.Add(cInfo.userInfo.displayName)
            newContact = New AddinExpress.MSO.ADXCommandBarPopup
            newContact.Caption = "new user"
            tmpStr = cInfo.userInfo.displayName & " (" & cInfo.contextInfo.identityContextText & ")"
            'MsgBox(cInfo.contextInfo.identityContextText)
            newContact.Caption = tmpStr
            'now create availability information
            Me.cmdMyContacts.Controls.Add(newContact)
            For Each dInfo In cInfo.contextInfo.deviceInfoSet
                newButton = New AddinExpress.MSO.ADXCommandBarButton()
                newButton.Caption = dInfo.deviceType & " - " & dInfo.deviceContext.contextText
                Me.cmdMyContacts.Controls.Item(0).Collection.Add(newButton)
                newButton = Nothing
            Next
            newContact = Nothing
        Next
    End Sub

Hi James.

The fact is that you use methods that are not designed working at runtime. Please download the following example to learn how you can add controls at runtime:
