Hello Robert,

You can try something like this

'Create a class that inherits from System.Windows.Forms.TextBox  
Public Class My_TextBox
    Inherits System.Windows.Forms.TextBox

    Public Sub My_TextBox_TextChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.TextChanged
     'This is for example
      messagebox.show(me.text)
     end sub

end class

'from the form use the following code
Dim iX as integer = 100
Dim iY as integer = 0
Dim iFieldCount as integer = 6
Dim i as integer = 0

Private My_TextBox() As My_TextBox

           for i = 1 to iFieldCount

                    ReDim Preserve My_TextBox(i)
                    My_TextBox(i) = New My_TextBox()

                    iY = 35 * i
                    With My_TextBox(i)
                      .name = "TB" & i
                      .Location = New System.Drawing.Point(iX, iY)

                     end with
'Add controls to the form
    .Controls.Add(My_TextBox(i))
         next

Hope this helps

Regards
Ola
