remove a control

[Deju]

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 .

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

Try this api call!

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.

Controls.Remove ("sControlName")
