textbox name when create programmically

[Chong]

When I create textboxes at run time, how do I know which textbox is which? Here's the code, for example.

Dim txtResult As New TextBox()

pnlAppResult.SuspendLayout()
With txtAward
.Width = 80
.Height = awdH
.Location = New Point(awdX, awdY)
.AutoSize = True
.Multiline = True
'.Text = plcHolder
.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.White
.ReadOnly = True
.Visible = True
.Show()
End With
pnlAppResult.Controls.Add(txtAward)
pnlAppResult.ResumeLayout(True)

This text box is created base on how many results are generated from the database. My problem is if I want to work with the first created textbox, which name do I use to work with because all of the created textboxes are create with the name txtAward. Please help.

Many thanks in advance!

Sorry, this line
COLOR=red]Dim txtAward As New TextBox()[/COLOR] should be Dim txtResult As New TextBox()[

Thanks!

You never specified a name for your textbox . Set .Name Property to your control created at runtime .

Thanks! I'll give that a try.
