Adding controls at runtime

[jacozekk]

Hi there Vb-Experts!

I have a dilly of a pickle. Im trying to add controls at runtime but I have no idea how! I've looked everywhere but so far no luck. I was wondering if you guys could help me out. Im trying to "copy and paste" a group of controls in a picture box and place them inside another picture box.

If you guys can help me out, Id really appriciate it. Thanks!

Private Sub Command1_Click()
 
    Controls.Add "VB.Label", "Label1"
    Me!Label1.Move 0, 0
    Me!Label1.Caption = "New label"
    Me!Label1.Visible = True
 
End Sub

Orrrrrrrrrr, suposing you have a command1 (it can be anything actually) with its index set to 0:

Load Command1(Command1.count) 'add a new command1 to the array
Command1(command1.count-1).Left = Command1(command1.count-2).Left
Command1(command1.count-1).Top = Command1(command1.count-2).top+Command1(command1.count-2).height   'put it under the previous one
Command1(command1.count-1).visible = true   'nake it visible (duh!!!)
