VB6 Question

Jimboo_Jones

Hello,

Does anyone know how to create an array in VB6 at runtime?

Rather than physicaly laying out the control array at design time I would like to map out an array of image boxes in code as I think this would be ultimatly more felxiable.

Any tips would be helpfull

There should be no shortage of samples in the online help about dynamic control creation. Have you checked there yet, and if so, is there anything specific you have a problem with?

Yeah I found them now, the key was to use the word dynamically, 'how to create objects at runtime' didn't appear to bring up anything usefull

Set shpCell = Controls.Add("vb.shape", "shpcell")
shpCell.Visible = True

seems to work, just a case of setting out them in the matrix I require now

Thanks

np. I've not-so-fond memories of struggling with the VB6 help, knowing that what I want is in there *somewhere*, but not being able to find it.

VB5's help was, IMHO, the highpoint - the best help for VB, in the world, evarrrr. Then MS "upgraded" it alongside the language.

If you add one instance of teh control at design time and set it's Index property to zero then you can use the Load keyword to load more instances of the control.

Load shpTest(100)
shpTest(100).Visible = True
