    Simple activex question

    Hi all, I am very new to active X, this is my first day at it. I have created 4 controls, called 1.ctl, 2.ctl 3.ctl and 4.ctl. I also have 4 control buttons on a form, and when I click 1.cmd I want the form to display 1.ctl and so on.

    How can I achieve this.

    Many thanks

    Hi

    just quick answer no time to explain. Use panels (with controls on) then on button click hide or show panels appropriately. Only problem with this is will remain in memory etc. so might be better to destroy object then re-create it...

    You might try Controls.Add

    Put all 4 controls on your form where you want them to show up, but set the visible properties to false.

    When the command button is clicked,
    Control1.Visible = True
