Is it possible when somebody presses on a button: "More textboxes" That it will create an extra textbox, can I do this with visual basic 2005?

[Xav]

Yes, it is - just create a new TextBox object, set it's Parent property to the current form, and then voila. :)

And with a code?

[Xav]

Hmm... well, I'm not too sure, we might need to do some testing again...
Try this:
[highlight=vb]
Dim txt As New Textbox()
txt.Parent = Me
[/highlight]
What does it do?

[wazofski]

Thank you!

[Xav]

It works? Great - I've impressed myself. Superxav to the reeessccuueee... :)

So if I press the button 2 times 2 boxes will appear? I would I change de second's coördinates?

[Xav]

I've got no idea how you got the umlaut 'o' on coordinates, but:

[highlight=vb]
Dim x,y As Integer

'Set values here
x = 200
y = 200

txt.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(x,y)
[/highlight]

I know that, but what I'm meaning is: If I press the button 2 times, will be there also 2 textboxes created? Every time you press the button an extra textbox will be created?
And how would I prevent it with a code from having the same coördinates?

[Xav]

Oh, I see - you could have two boxes on the form that allow the user to select the coordinates, then display it. Or do you want the boxes a set amount apart every time?

[wazofski]

Yeah, The coördinates are autmaticly set by that button, But 2 textboxes mustn't have the same coördinates

[Xav]

OK. Two questions:

1. How do you want the multiple boxes to be arranged?
2. How big is the height of the text box?
