Techniques for Adding and Deleting Controls Dynamically in Visual Basic 6

Occasionally you will create forms for which you do not always have a fixed number of controls. You may need to add controls at runtime or remove some of the controls that you have created. Visual Basic lets you create and destroy controls dynamically at runtime based on the needs of your application.

With VB6, you have at your disposal two major techniques for dynamic control creation:

• Control arrays
• Direct manipulation of the Controls Collection through the Add and Remove methods.

• Adding and Deleting Controls Dynamically Using Control Arrays

• Adding and Deleting Controls Dynamically Using the Controls Collection
