Creating Textbox Control Array at Runtime

[jaggu]

How to make a textbox array at Runtime ?
ie, I want to make some textboxes in arrays (say txtNAME(i) )

I tried this method

Set txtNAME1 = Controls.Add("VB.textbox", "txtNAME1"), it works.

But when I give

FOR I = 1 TO 10
Set txtNAME(i) = Controls.Add("VB.textbox", "txtno(i)")
NEXT

It gives “Not a legal object Name” error message

Anyone with a helping hand ?
Thanks in advance

You need to load the new control before referencing it.

The easiest way to do this (not always the fastest way)
is to create a single textbox on the form at Design time,
give it a name and an index = 0.

Runtime:

Dim lngIndex As Long

'The First control(0) was created at design time
For lngIndex = 1 To 9
   Load ControlName(lngIndex)
   'Place aligning code here (Left, Top, etc.)
   ControlName(lngIndex).Visible = True
Next

This will create a control array of Controls 0-9
