controls.add in vb5?

[aelmeras]

Hello,

I'm relatively new to ActiveX, so you'll have to excuse my ignorance.

I tried to add a dynamically created control to the controls collection of a form, but it seems that this is not possible since there is no Add method in this collection. I am using vb5. Is it because I'm using vb5 or am I missing something?

If it is because I am using vb5, is there some workaround?

It's VB5. This code works for 6 but not for 5 :

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim TXT As Control
 
Set TXT = Me.Controls.Add("VB.TextBox", "ControlName", Me)
TXT.Text = "aaa"
TXT.Visible = True
End Sub

I guess a workaround is to have a control array and load the control with the next index and show it...

Thank you for your response.

Yes, but the problem is that I will only know the name of the control at run-time. (I'm trying to make something with plug-ins.)
