adding controls created in a class method onto a form

[felipe]

is it possible to dynamicly create a control, such as a pictureBox, within a class method and then add it to a form without the form knowing about it?

The form will always know about it, because you're going to be adding it to the form's Controls collection.

thanks for the reply divil,

 

well this is what i am trying to do:

 

- in xForm_Load i call a method to initialize components.

- Initialize() creates an instance of xClass

- xClass then creates xControl and adds it to xForm

 

 

Problem:

 

- i have tried to use ActiveForm.Controls.Add(xControl) but since the for m load procedure is not complete, the form isnt active.

 

- I've tried force the form to activate early but it doesnt work

 

 

Question:

 

how can i add xControl to xForm during xForm_Load?

what type of syntax would i have to use?

Just pass the form to the method that's going to add the controls.
