Can I create a control array of this?

[nievesj]

Im using this to create buttons at run time, draggin them from another form

Set Boton = frmDropWindow.Controls.Add("VB.CommandButton", ControlName)

Is there a way to make a control array of them?, because when one is created, the older one stops working, so they are pretty much useless.

Thanks :0

Once you create the 1st control, set the Index to 0 then create the same control again (with the same name) and it'll automatically go to 1, 2, 3 etc.

I didn't think you could set the index at run time.

Nope, the index cant be changed during run time

im toying now with object.ContainedControls

im still looking for info on it, there seems to be a way with that, havent found an example yet .

Thanks for the time

got this code from kedaman the other time,

Set Boton = frmDropWindow.Controls.Add("VB.CommandButton", "ControlName" & arrayNumber)


Just add the array number to the controlname, producing a ControlName1, ControlName2, etc..keeps the names unique
Works great!
