Creating a UserControl at runtime without Control Arrays

[robdon]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to create a UserControl at runtime, without using Control Arrays?

I can create standard control like this...

Dim ctlName As Control

Set ctlName = Form1.Controls.Add("VB.Textbox", "Text1", Form1)

ctlName.Visible = True


But I cant find out how to create a UserControl dynamically at runtime.

The UserControl is designed at design time, I just want to include it on a form at runtime...

Thanks,

Hi,

Just so others know, I figured it out.

Dim ctlName As Control

Set ctlName = Form1.Controls.Add("Project1.UserControl1", "Text1", Form1)

ctlName.Visible = True

You have to replace "VB.TextBox" with the projectname and the usercontrol name, not just the usercontrol name.

Also, in project properties under the 'Make' tab, you have to make sure that the 'Remove Information about unused ActiveX controls' checkbox is unchecked...
