Adding Controls At Run-Time

[GlobeTrotter]

I want to be able to click a button that will in turn add more instances of a frame on each click. On my form, I have one frame already, index number 0. This is the code for the cmd_click procedure.

code:

Load fraTextNum(fraTextNum.Count)     fraTextNum(fraTextNum.Count - 1) = fraTextNum(0)     With fraTextNum(fraTextNum.Count - 1)         .Top = fraTextNum(fraTextNum.Count - 1).Top + fraTextNum(fraTextNum.Count - 1).Height + 30         .Caption = "Text File #" & CStr(fraTextNum.Count)         .Visible = True     End With

It seems to work if I press it once, and it creates another one underneath it. However, when I try and press it again, it does not create a third instance. Any ideas why? I'm stumped.

Actually you're just creating them all in the same spot.

You're setting the new frame's Top to be fraTextNum(fraTextNum.Count - 1).Top + fraTextNum(fraTextNum.Count - 1).Height + 30, but fraTextNum(fraTextNum.Count - 1).Top was just set to the first frame's Top.

You probably want to add on the Top of the previous frame created instead, that is, fraTextNum(fraTextNum.Count - 2).Top

Thanks, that was stupid.

Now, what if I want to do the exact same thing for, say, a textbox but have the new instance of the textbox inside the frame I just created?

When I try and do it, the textbox I create is stuck inside the original frame. I can't really see any properties I can change at run-time to select the frame it should be in, could you help please?
