im just wondering if visual basic has the ability to add buttons(command button,option,checkbox and the likes) during runtime?

for example , you want to have a list of supplier to be handled by the radio button.. but then during the coding process you dont know yet how many supplier there would be, so you want to write a program that would automatically add radio button everytime a new supplier added..

if it's possible, how? or do you have some techniques do such?

Dim myButton As New Button
myButton.Parent = Me
myButton.Size = New Size(40,20)
myButton.Location = New Point(10,10)

ok, how do you call it?

Dim myButton As New Button
dim x,y as integer

x = adodc1.recordset.recordcount
for y = 1 to x
myButton.Parent = Me
myButton.Size = New Size(40,20)
myButton.Location = New Point(10,10)
next y

what it does is it will place the button of the top of each other right?

in your example it will only create one button since your creation is outside the loop:

Dim myButton As New Button

The size and locations were of course just examples, if you want them to be different in a loop you can just use the loop variable to change the location accordingly:

myButton.Location = New Point(10,30*y)

for example...
