How can I place an control on a form (like a textbox), without placing this
control on the form at design-time?

Thanks

In lieu of upgrading, you might try this:

    Dim x%
    x = cmdArray.UBound
    x = x + 1
    Load cmdArray(x)
    cmdArray(x).Left = cmdArray(x - 1).Left + 1500
    cmdArray(x).Visible = True

Of course, this only helps part of your problem. I don't know of a way
to start with no control on the form at all. This method has a control
which may or may not be visible. The index property is set to 0 to
make a control array, and you dynamically increment the array count,
position, and display the control.

Just my 2, though.

But if you don't want to do that, there is some way of achieving it in VB4 and VB5 (maybe alo in VB3, but I can't
remember; too long ago).
Wiht the Load statement you can add controls to controlarrays. The controlarray (of course) has to exist.
So: create a textbox on the form with name something like TextBox(0).
In the code you can create other TextBoxes with: Load TextBox(1), Load TextBox(2), etc.

this is from vb 6.0 but may work for you

Dim WithEvents ctlTab As VB.VBControlExtender
Dim WithEvents ctlCommand As VB.CommandButton

Set ctlCommand = Controls.Add("VB.CommandButton", "ctlCommand1")

Set ctlTab = Controls.Add("TabDlg.SSTab.1", "ctlTab1")
