Positioning dynamically created controls

[Guy]

Hi,

I have a page that adds controls dynamically to the page. How do I control
where these controls appear, relative to the other controls? I'd like all new
controls to be listed vertically between two existing controls.

Thanks,
Guy

Hi Guy,

When it comes to positing you have mainly two choices: table layout or CSS.
I think you're looking for CSS positioning. Do some googling, there are tons
of info on how to set an elmement position by using CSS.

As Victor said, you could use CSS postioning for that.
For example, if you have a button control that you add dynamically, then
you can do the following:

Dim x As New Button
x.Style.Add("LEFT", "192px")
x.Style.Add("TOP", "224px")
x.Style.Add("POSITION", "absolute")

where left and top would be the position x and y on the page.
