Hello,
I have a form in my winforms app that holds a button.When I press that button,I would like to generate one click at a time no more than 6 comboboxes from where the user can choose the desired item.I have tried to make it by using some of the explanations found on the internet,but unfortunately most of them are bound to adding an item into the combobox by pressing a button.I have found a particular example where you can press a button and for every click,another button will appear and I have tried to make the same logic for the combobox,but without any luck.Can someone help me with the logic,please?Thank you in advance!

What I have tried:

This is what I have tried:

private void bunifuFlatButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           panelRegistration.Controls.Add(comboBoxCourse);

       }

Solution 1

You're basically doing it correctly already:

private void bunifuFlatButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    var comboBox1 = new ComboBox();
    // Initialise comboBox1, e.g. add DataSource, Location, etc.
    panelRegistration.Controls.Add(comboBox1);
}

Thank you,Thaddeus Jones for the solution.It seemed i was doing it correctly except for the part where I continuously add comboboxes to the panel.I thought that if I add it once to the panel it would be enough.Best regards!

Anytime :) The reason why that wouldn't work is that a control can only have one parent. When you add it to the panel the second time, it is first removed.
