 Dynamic control creation Dynamic control creation....
I understand that, from reading in a newsgroup post, one can load
additional controls into an array of
controls of the same type if you have at least one member defined with an
index in the IDE.
How does one do this? Are there any examples or resources anywhere where
this is shown as an example?
Thanks!

Dynamic control creation At design time, create a control with an index value (eg MyTextBox(0) --
doesn't have to be zero, that's just the default). You can create more than
one member of the collection at design time.
Run time:
Load MyTextBox(1) --- doesn't have to be 1, nor do you have to use the
indexes in order. Just any index that isn't yet used.
and
Unload MyTextBox(1) ... You can't unload the design-time members.
You can iterate your collection using:
Dim pTextBox as TextBox
For each pTextBox in MyTextBox
....

Dynamic control creation Look up Load....
Example:
mycontrol is set with an index of zero
to create, ie: load, another one do the following
lButton=UBound(mycontrol) + 1 'lButton can be used for keeping count of your controls if needed...
Load mycontrol(lButton)
With mycontrol(lButton)
.Caption = "what ever you want here"
.Height = some size if needed
.Width = some size if needed
.Left = some position to move it somewhere else
.Top = same as with Left
.Visible = True ' this is needed because you can't see it.. kind of like Load Form and Show Form
.what ever else needs to be set
End With

Dynamic control creation Simple Remark to using helter-skelter indexes...
Makes coding in the events for the control kind of helter-skelter also...

Dynamic control creation Many thanks to you and Don ---that was exactly what I was looking for.

Indeed. Wasn't recommending the practice, just saying it's possible. And it
can be appropriate in some cases, eg where the index relates to something
else in the app.
