can't create dynamic control array

[phinds]

I'm using VB6 and want to create a set of text boxes dynamically at run-time. I've looked at the "controls.add" method, and I've dug through the help references on control arrays until I'm blue in the face and I've tried everything I can think of. For FORMS, I have no trouble creating dynamic arrays at runtime, but for TextBoxs I just can't get anything to work. Suggestions?

Thanks for your time.

Place a textbox on the form at design time and set its index property to 0. The textbox can either be visible or not visible.

Why don't you just put one textbox on the form at design time, initialize its index to 0 to create a control array of 1. Then at run time you can add to the control array with the Load statement.

Load TextBox(1)
Load TextBox(2)
etc.

Yes just make one of the controls at design time set its index property to 0 and then during runtime just load the other controls like this

dim i as integer
for i = 1 to 20
load txtFunkyStuff(i)
txtfunkystuff(i).left = 1000 + i * 200
txtfunkystuff(i).width = 175
txtfunkystuff.top = 1000
txtfunkystuff.visible = true
next i
