I'm assuming that there is a way for VB6 to create objects such as a
textbox or command button at runtime, but can't figure out how to do
it.  I came across an example that creates another form every time you
click a button, but had no success converting it to do the same for
other objects.  Can someone please enlighten me?

Thanks,
Tim.

Remember that you're unique - just like everyone else.

Assuming you have at least one control on your form, with index not
Null, e.g. a textbox text1(0). Use

        Load text1(i)

with i a positive number, and text1(i) not in use yet. You'll create a
copy of text1(0), same properties as the original, but invisible.

There's no way to create an entirely different control at runtime, as
you already must have compiled the event code for this control. So: the
event code is common to all controls in this control array, but you have
an extra parameter, index, to see exactly which one you're currently
dealing with.

You could use it's Tag property, for example, to differentiate between
subtypes of your control.

There are two ways:

In VB6 you can use the Add method of the Controls collection of a Form.

In previous versions you have to put a control like the one you will want to
create on the form and set its Index property to 0. At run-time, perform
something like:

Load myControl(1)
myControl.Visible = True

Remove '!no!spam!' to reply by e-mail but reply to newsgroup as well.

Starting with VB6, though, you have the option of creating controls somewhat
out of thin air.  Please look up Dynamic Control Creation in the VB6 docs,
What's New section.
