control arrays 3

i really tried the following code :

Dim tbNew as New TextBox1
tbNew.Text = "Copy of TextBox1"
tbNew.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(12, 12)
Me.Controls.Add(tbNew)

but when i write dim tbnew as new ........ (i dont get textbox1 in the popup menu)
so it isnt working. if there is anything specific in addition to the above code please say it. thanx anyway.

how about this:

Dim tbNew As TextBox = TextBox1

I think it does what you want :)
