Ok, new one here. I've been trying to build a form from a text file. What I am trying to do specifically is when a form loads, it attaches to a txt file, reads it line by line, and build a radio button form based on it. This way, if we want to change the look of the form we can just update the txt file, rather then have to re compile the entire app.

What I've done so far is create the ioStreamReader and attached to the file. I was able to list the entire contents to a text box just to make sure the iostream was reading how I wanted it too. Now, i want it to read each line of the document, read to the first ", " and use that text as the app name, and everything after the comma as the path. For each line, i need a bullet w/ app name.

I was going to use a substring but i don't think it would do what I want, it would show the ", " and it's not dynamic enough. Also, i'm having a hard time brainstorming on the method to get the Radio button and lable to be generated at the procedure level. I've never done it before and am kind of lost. I know i'll also need to do an X and Y coordinate and increment it as well.

Well, any help is appreciated. I'll do some searches google and see what it shows.
