[RESOLVED] Run-time control and control array

No idea how to describe this problem, but just add this to a form :

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
Dim WithEvents Lst As ListBox
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
    Set Lst = List1(0)
End Sub

List1() is a control array created at design time. Error occurs :

Anyway to avoid it?

You cannot use WithEvents on a control that is part of a control array.

Simple enough I guess... Oh well :( Thanks :)

Control array elements have their events "hacked" to include an Index property so you know which control fired the event. That hacking can't be (or isn't anyway) done for an object reference. For the same reason, you can't use WithEvents with arrays of object references.

I got around this loading items and adding them to the collection of the form with "_1" or another number at the end and then referencing them through the form's controls collection again :) Works just fine :D
