How do i make events on my dynamically created controls? etc. LostFocus

THANKS!

Regards.

Use AddHandler.

<Scratch that... Sorry: that was a .NET solution. I don't know the answer to your question. I think that maybe you can add the events as routines in advance. They would never be called, and so there would be no error. If you then add the controls dynamically, using predefined control names, and using With Events, I think the previously written handlers would get called. Needs to be tested though.>

in vb6???

Yes, in VB6 - Thanks!

Did you try adding the subs that would normally be there for a control, and seeing if newly created controls utilize those subs once the control has been created?

Yes, tried that but unsuccessful.

create a ControlArray and then load controls at run time...i belev it will work..

you can try this easily... put a control of the type you need on the form... put it index=0... Write all the handles you need for it.. try the program and you will see that the handles executes ok for it... now use load to add controls of that specific type (using the one that is on the form), adding 1 to the index.. you can have it invisible (the original one)...

When you create an array of controls like this, the events that handle it have an Index argument. (Either create the array first, or go back and add "Index As Integer" as an argument of the Sub(s).). You can turn a control into a control array by creating one, selecting it, copying it to the clipboard, selecting the [u]form</u> then pasting the control. You will be asked whether you want to create an array or not.

You would use that index to control the behavior within the one event handler if you need distinct behavior for the different controls in the array.

I've been trying this but no success.:

'Text1(0) created in design time
Set txtObj = Controls.Add("VB.Textbox", "Text1")
With txtObj
    .Visible = True
    .Top = 120
    .Left = 1000
    .Width = 1000
    .Height = 300
    .Alignment = vbCenter
    .ZOrder 0
    .SelStart = 0
    .SelLength = Len(txtObj.Text)
' .Index = 1
End With

Error:
727 ; There is already a control with the name 'Text1'

Thanks!
