Using script to create a label on form?

[oppdelta]

Hi, this is a bit hard to explain.

I need help to script a label that will appear on the form. I dont mean just mean go into the editer and drag the label onto the form. I mean actually script it.

Like:


dim label1 as label()

label1.width = 300


etc... If you get what i mean.

Welcome to VBForums.
You'd have to create a NEW instance of the label class:

Dim myLabel As New Label()

Then just set any properties you need and add it to the container you wish to hold it, commonly the form.

myLabel.Text = "Hello world"
myLabel.Location = New Point(30, 30)
Me.Controls.Add(myLabel)

Isn't Dim myLabel as new Label() making a label array? I think he just wants one label..

Nope Its calling the Label's empty constructor. You could remove the () and it'd work the same, but being used to the way C++/Java/C# works, I always write it like that.
