A little like this:

Dim TB As New Textbox
With TB
   .Location = New Point(20, 20)
   .Size = New Size(50,20)
   .Text = "This is a test"
   .Visible = True
End With
Me.Controls.Add(TB)

That's pretty much it. You can set all of the same properties in code as you can in the form designer.

Oh, and welcome.

If you examine the code that is generated automatically by the form designer (when you drag and drop a new textbox onto a form) you'll get a good idea of how its done.
