2dimensional array

[Petergotchi]

Is it possible to create a 2dimensional control array?
I want to be able to call the controls like Text1(1,3).text = ...
Possible with VB6 or not?

It isn't possible, but why would you want to? If the reason is so that you can do a row and column type thing, you are probably better off with a single dimension array.

Euhm... Explain...
Indeed I need rows and columns... That's why I want to structure it. I'm making a mastermind game...

You can't create a two dimensional control array but you can simulate an array of controls.

Dim aGameBoard(9,4) as TextBox '10 x 5
 
Set aGameBoard(0,0) = Text1
Set aGameBoard(0,1) = Text2
'...etc
Set aGameBoard(9,4) = Text50
 
'or if each row is a control array of Textboxes
Set aGameBoard(0,0) = Text1(0)
Set aGameBoard(0,1) = Text1(2)
'etc..
Set aGameBoard(9,4) = Text10(4)
 
'now access the textboxes through the array.
aGameBoard(1,3).Text = "Hello World"
