Creating new objects at runtime

[SecretHell]

Hi,

How can I create new instances of a control on runtime ?

my main-control is named picture1
I tried something like this

dim p as object
set p = new picture1
.....

But this doesn't work.
Does anybody knows how I can make this work ?
Thanx

The easiest way to do this is to ensure that your Picture1 control is assigned an Index Number (e.g. 0) when it is created. Then you can add or remove instances of the Picture1 by using

Load Picture1(Picture1.count)

The number of Picture1 objects is 1 when the program is started. The starting index is 0, so when this Load statement is encountered, the program will create Picture1(1). You can Unload controls that were created dynamically. You cannot Unload controls that were in existence at design time.

Good Luck...

when you place a control on the form set it's index property to 0. then use something like this:

'assuming a textbox named txtControls
dim x as integer
x = ubound(txtControls) + 1
Load txtControls(x)
txtcontrols(x).visible = true
txtControls(x).Text = "I created this at runtime"



Hope this helps,
John
