You need to add the new textbox to the container control.

 

i.e.

 

Form1.Controls.Add(TextBox1);

 

Remember to add the events handler to the textbox if you need them.

To add a new textbox...

 

       'Create the textbox
       Dim MyNewTextBox As New TextBox
       'Set the location an size properties how you want them
       MyNewTextBox.Size = New Size(100, 22)
       'Set the text if you want
       'Add the textbox to the form
       Me.Controls.Add(MyNewTextBox)
       'If you want to handle events do it like this
       AddHandler MyNewTextBox.TextChanged, AddressOf DynamicTextBox_TextChanged

 

Easy as pie. Instantiate it, set the properties, add handlers, and add it.

 

Now, if you want to keep a reference to the textbox so you can access it at any time, you could do this by storing it in a variable of type textbox, in an array, or an arraylist, whatever suits your needs.

 

Also, a recommendation: because this code uses a generic handler for any textboxes it creates, if there is any specific information about this textbox that you will need to know about it, I personally would store that info in the form of a string in the textboxes .Tag property.
