runtime textboxes

[gollie]

hey there!

I created a VB6 Application and a report wizard that lets a user to select parameters that he/she wants to appear on the report. the parameters are actually fields from an MS Access table with more than 20 fields. the user may select to compose a report using only,say 2, parameters or even 19,now I want the report to AutoCreate the textboxes accordingly with the number of parameters chosen, I don't want to create the textboxes myself,the problem comes where the I have to create them during runtime how can I go about this?
Iam using:VB6,MSAccess and DataEnvironment

There are many threads here about "Dynamic Control Creation". Please do a search for them.

Basically, you need a text box that is an array ( it has an index ). Then you can add more controls to the form by using the load command.

i.e. I have a text box named MyText. It has an index of 0.

I can then do:

Load MyText(1)

To add a new text box to the form. Then you can position it by setting it's top and left values, and so on.
