Creating run time controls on one form from another ?????????

How can I create control eg a button on a form by pressing a button on another form?

I'm making a GUI editor for Powerbasic and the client form displays, and like in the VB IDE you click a botton and a button appears on that form, then I can click on the new button and drag it, resize it etc.

if I use Dim X as New CommandButton, how do I make it appear on form2 ???

Thanks

Use Form2's controls collection and perform an Add command (Form2.Controls.Add) See MSDN for more details on the Controls collection and event trapping for these controls.

Thanks dood

No time to try it out for you, but can you create a hidden button on Form2 with index property set to 0, then when creating a new one,

Code:

---

x=1
form2.load newButton(x)
newButton(x).visible=true

---

I think it will work fine - in fact I think I do this in a usercontrol I made.
