Putting controls on form

Add the first control, and give it an index of zero. (i.e. cmdTest(0)

Then, at runtime you can use the load method to load a new control:

Load cmdTest(1)

Then you have to postion it (it is loaded in exactly the same postion as the control with an index of zero) and set the visible property to true in order to see it.

At design time give the control an index of 0 so as to create a control array. Then when you want to load a new instance of it, do it like this:

Textbox for example

Load Text(1)

geez i type slow

Take a look at

place all the controls you need on your form when building it an put the visible property at false then at run time change the visible at true for the control you need to use

gfaucher...the question was how to add controls at run time.

When I try to add a new control to controls collection of the form, I don't get a list of properties and methods where I can pull the Add method from. Any idea why?

if youre talking about the convenient popup menus that appear when you normally type in comments like text1.text (when you type the "."), that won't appear when referencing the control collection of the form. However it doesnt mean its not working.  It should still run fine.

Thank you!
