Create an control at runtime?

[CJBIRKIN]

Hi

Does anyone know if you can create a control, say an textbox, on a form without it being in design view. i.e if i click a button on a form the textbox is created.

Cheers

Hi

I had checked and it said you could only do it in design view, however as you can in VB5 etc i wondered if there was a work around.

You can do this, but you would need to have code to close the form, reopen in design mode, and then create the control, save, and then reopen the form. At least with Access. It's true that in VB6 you can create controls on the fly on an open form.
