remove a control

With this code, I've made a control at runtime.

Set btnObj = Controls.Add("VB.ComboBox", sControlName)
With btnObj
.Visible = True
.Width = 2000
.Top = 210 + (i * 350)
.Left = 5500
.ForeColor = vbBlack
.Text = ""
End With

Now I want to remove it. So I thought to set it equal to Nothing:

Set btnObj = Nothing

The problem is, that the control is still on my form.

How can I realy remove it?

Just a thought .
Change it's visible property and then set it to nothing .






[]P

try "Unload btnObj"

The Unload solution doesn't seems to work.


first I've set the visible property to false
and then I set it on nothing.


When I want to add a new control with te same name as the one I deleted, I get an error which said "Object with this name already exists".
So it seems that the 'Nothing' not realy destroys the object.

Some solution?

As it is a Collection you should have access to the Remove method. i.e. Controls.Remove sControlName

Cheers,

Try this api call!

Code:

---

Private Declare Function DestroyWindow Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long

Private Sub RemoveMe(Handle As Long)
DestroyWindow Handle
End Sub

'usage:
'RemoveMe btnObj.hWnd

---

Controls has a property called Remove.

Code:

---

Controls.Remove ("sControlName")
