How to create new object in the program

[EricsonJ]

I want to create some objects, such as label, command button, etc, in my program. But I cannot find the function to realize this, how should I do?

Look at Load statement. Create a control of each type that you want with INDEX=0 so it is a control array. To create
Dim lngNew as Long
lngNew = controlname.Ubound + 1
Load controlname(lngNew)
controlname(lngNew).Left = ....
.....

Thank you very much for the reply.

I have used the method you mentioned in my programming before. I think the shortcoming of this method is that I must declare all types of objects iin my program, whether I use it or not. I am now working on a program like the VB IDE, in which I have almost all the VB controls there. So, I want to know that if there is a way to create the object from the very beginning.

Thank you again.

Yes, it's a potential shortcoming. On the other hand, the alternative method - which involves CreateObject - means you miss out on being able to include specific mehtods and events for the newly created object. Swings and roundabouts.

IF you want the hard way, look at the ADD method for controls. You may have a problem with default properties that can not be changed at run-time.

Thank you very much.

I decided to use the traditional way, that is, to declare an array first.

Thank you again.
