How do I programaticaslly create a RichTextBox

[InsideEdge]

Hi, I'm using VB6 and I'm trying to place RichTextBoxs on a container control like a PictureBox control. I've looked everywhere and can't find a way of making this happen.

Please help if you can.

there are some ways to do that using the API, I believe. The simpler way is just to put a RichTextBox in your PictureBox, make it invisible, and then make it visible again when you want it to "load." If you need more, then you can use the load statement. This has been documented many times here, so I won't go into details.

There certainly are - but I wouldn't really recommend them.
