An easy way is to create a textbox first and hide it (.visible = false) and then show it when you want....but I guess that is not what you are after.

Another way is to first create a textbox, set the index property to "0" and let the name be the default "text1". Then run the following code under a command button for example :

Code:

---

  Load Text1(1)
  Text1(1).Visible = True
  Text1(1).Top = 20
  Text1(1).Left = 20

---

This will create an additional textbox for you. When creating an object like this it is by default hidden, so we need to set the visible propery to true and also move it a little bit so it won't be exactly on top of the other one.

So if you want 10 textboxes run the following code :

Code:

---

Private Sub Command1_Click()
 Dim i As Integer
 For i = 1 To 10
    Load Text1(i)
    Text1(i).Visible = True
    Text1(i).Top = i * 200
    Text1(i).Left = i * 200
 Next i
End Sub

---

good luck

an alternative is to create it from scratch, without making any controls up front.

VB Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim ctlTxtBox As Control
    Set ctlTxtBox = Controls.Add("VB.TextBox", "ctlTxtBox1", Form1)
    ctlTxtBox.Height = 2000
    ctlTxtBox.Width = 2000
    ctlTxtBox.Visible = True
End Sub
